Dear Parents/Carers,

I hope you are all well and that families are staying safe.

Knowle West Support Hub

Help us spread the word about the Knowle West Support Hub. This is set up to ensure everyone is able to reach the help they need during CV-19 and it can be accessed in addition to any support that your organisation/group is already offering.

Residents can access information, befriending, shopping, signposting, errands/picking up prescriptions and we can now refer directly to our new Knowle West food bank partnership - for anyone facing food poverty due to change of circumstances.

Free phone line: 0800 694 0184 (freephone, 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday, 10am to 2pm Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays). This central phone line is operated by We Are Bristol/Council and where our local offer is needed calls are referred to the Knowle West Support Hub. We have an amazing team from local partner organisations who are calling residents back to discuss areas we can help with/put those into action. #WeAreKnowleWest

If you or someone you know wants to volunteer to help with errands you can sign up at CanDoBristol.co.uk and tick the Knowle West/Filwood/Innes Court box's and we'll be in touch. If you work for a local organisation and want to help on the befriending side please get in touch with lucy.holburn@kwalliance.co.uk

Any questions don't hesitate to get in touch. Please pass on to any other local organisations/groups/churches/medical practices/social care agencies that are in contact with residents.

Food Donations

We receive donations of miscellaneous food items in school from an organisation called ‘Fareshare’. Normally these are used in school by Breakfast Club and Chill Time Klub. However, during this time we would like to distribute any food we receive to families in need. If over the coming week’s you would like to be considered to receive items, please call the school office. We will prioritise due to need and contact families if/when food is available.

Ongoing Support

As always, if you need advice or support in any way please contact us. Even if we are unable to solve problems we will do our best to give advice or signpost you to other agencies.

Yours sincerely
