Connecting communities with local suppliers and support during the Covid-19 pandemic

Connecting communities with local suppliers and support during the Covid-19 pandemic

April 8, 2020

During this challenging time we felt it was important to help connect our communities by providing information on local food and drink suppliers, and other help available particularly for the vulnerable and elderly, being provided both by businesses and communities.

We have created this interactive map so that you can search and find suppliers, deliveries and support local to where you live:

We have been overwhelmed by how many food and drink businesses have been able to adapt their operations and support people to access food, drink and other supplies during this difficult time.

Many communities have created vital help for vulnerable and elderly residents through volunteering their time.

You can find details of the community support groups covering your area on the map.

Alternatively use the Covid-19 Mutual Aid UK website to find your nearest support group helping the most vulnerable in our communities.

Please follow the latest Government advice and practise social distancing if you are visiting a shop. You must contact the supplier before ordering or setting out to ensure availability of produce and delivery radius.

This map isn’t an exhaustive list of everything being offered across the National Park, but we hope you find it useful.

It will be updated weekly. If you have something to add to the map or you know isn’t now operating, please email enterprise@southdowns.gov.uk
