We are aware that many people who were told to shield have been informed recently that they are being removed from the official shielding list and will lose their right to an government food parcel. We are also aware that people suffering from renal failure, pulmonary hypertension and who have had a splenectomy are now being included within the list of those who should shield.

We want to reassure all of our BS3 residents that we are here for you. If you are struggling to afford food because of your inability to work as a result of shielding or needing to shield (we are not going to judge those with underlying health conditions who decide to continue to shield!) please contact us. Please know we are also here for anyone who needs help with shopping, medication deliveries etc. https://www.bs3communityresponse.co.uk/, 01173812181 or bs3.covidresponse@gmail.com.
