My Neighbour and I have now exchanged numbers, as we both have different age children (my baby is 6 months old) she has offered to get any shopping I need, and as she is a frontline worker her 14 year old daughter is at home alone during the day I have told her to call if there are any issues

In Barking, the community has reacted to the crisis really well. The organisations and food banks have come together and are helping each other and I have been involved with that. I am really happy to help neighbours and also clap for the NHS but it’s not just about that. It has brought people closer together. The doors of communication have been opened. The cohesion and collaboration and togetherness between groups have improved even over the phone and video calls. Read more here: https://bdgiving.org.uk/stories/nighat-bhola/

My community has reacted well to the crisis. Trust me, bit by bit, the volunteering system has become something absolutely wonderful. There is now a real sense of togetherness. I have given out leaflets and collected prescriptions for people, and made deliveries for local residents. Others have been super helpful and receptive. I could see so much willing and satisfaction. It has given me the opportunity to meet and chat with people I wouldn’t normally talk to, and also pay back to my community.

I remember someone kindly reaching out saying, “I live in your area if you want a friendly chat over the phone let me know as I’m a social worker.” I think one positive thing that coronavirus is doing is breaking that fear of contacting your neighbour. Sometimes it seems we are so scared in this country of who lives next door, that we miss all the chances to build that sense of community. I’m a strong believer in that if you want to change something do it. Don’t wait for the government, don’t wait for anybody else. I think that small changes come from within.

It has been wonderful seeing and hearing resident living near Roding River side coming out every Thursday showing their love and support for NHS. The loud cheer, clapping and sound of car horns is electrifying which brings joy to all residents during these challenging time.
