Kingsmeadow @ MadeForever – COVID-19 Support
K@M4E is the hub of the community that works with the most vulnerable people,
preventing crisis, helping people already in crisis, those feeling confused, stuck and
stagnated with life, those facing multiple challenges, at risk of isolation and those
already living in loneliness and isolation. We provide support through a variety of
intervention services.
During the Covid-19 crisis, we continue to provide the following services:
- one to one Needs assessment and a personalised emotional and practical
support package following assessment.
• welfare benefits, and debt support
• food, gas, electric, clothing vouchers and emergency hygiene kits
• supporting people in need shopping, prescription pick-ups and others
• co-ordinated volunteering service and support
• advocacy and mentoring
• coordinated support groups where group members are encouraged and
motivated to contact and support each other during the Covid-19 crisis
• group motivational and encouragement call sessions
Following the current social distancing guidance from Public Health England,
services and sessions are provided via phone calls. In cases where we have to meet
with people for example to deliver items, a 2 metres distance is kept between
people.
