Wandsworth council

Wandsworth Council have set up a Community Hub to co-ordinate the support being offered by the Council and Wandsworth’s many voluntary organisations. From Tuesday 24 March, they are launching a new helpline as a first response for residents, particularly those elderly and/or vulnerable without support networks, who need support to access medical/care services and food supplies. This is to help those most in need stay safe and well while they self-isolate at home.

Mobile phone: 0208 871 6555
