Let’s help those who need it most [1/6]pic.twitter.com/thVpvupf6h
#LibDemCVTaskforce 2/6
We’re setting up the network through our #LibDems organisations across UK
I’m asking local @LibDems teams to organise themselves in ways to help most vulnerable during the crisis.
We must do everything we can to support our communities during the crisis
#LibDemCVTaskforce 3/6
Local #LibDems have already stepped-up in hundreds of areas
The taskforce will advise & guide @LibDems across UK
I’ve asked Sir Stuart Etherington, former CEO of National Council for Voluntary Orgs to chair & Dick Newby, our Leader in the Lords to be VC
#LibDemCVTaskforce 4/6
What we’ll be doing includes
Helping people w basic supplies
Sharing best practice & best ideas
Helping communities follow latest health guidance
We want to ensure all those self-isolating, especially vulnerable & elderly, get the support they need
#LibDemCVTaskforce 5/6
My thanks go to all our teams; I’m so proud of what we’re seeing @LibDems already doing for those in need
Hundreds of groups stepped-up
You’re already fulfilling key roles
This gives you extra support you need & reorientates whole party behind you
#LibDemCVTaskforce 6/6
It’s an unprecedented situation. LibDems, with our strong & historic links to local activism & community politics, have a wealth of knowledge & ability to offer
This will be scaling-up of what #LibDems do -day in, day out- helping the most vulnerable
Next, Stuart, Dick and I will be in touch with all the details...
Look out for emails from us
Advice, guidance & best practice is coming
We’ll use this page as links for resources http://libdems.org.uk/coronavirus
Thank you to everyone who will step up to help!
It’s a bit late Ed, community support groups have set themselves up already weeks ago they don’t need more muddling the water, what they do need is Co-ordination.
In many areas including mine that’s exactly what we are offering. LibDems are used to delivering thousands of leaflets and knocking on doors we’re feeding that organisational experience into non political community groups.
#WellSaidEd
It's what LibDem councillors and others do all year round but with a step up for this crisis
This will be a great initiative with so many of us wanting to help
It's caring for our neighbours and communities that will see us all get through this
Thanks Ed, the Government seem to have forgotten this!
