He also asks if any FeCRA members have links with colleges or large
companies in the city.

If so please can you ask them for help in this emergency.

“In addition to the targeted national assistance to the vulnerable there
are many more in need than the immediate 1.5 million national programme -
including in Cambridge - possibly a total vulnerable and older people
number of around a further 7.5m nationally with our proportion who need
support locally.

One thought which would really help would be if closed offices, colleges
and businesses could be asked to share on SPARE

·           surplus toilet and paper product stocks

·           cleansing products

·           non perishable or perishable food.

·           And if safe collection could be arranged”

Best wishes,

Wendy
