Our Haringey Labour Council, Our Labour councillors and MP, plus a number of community and mutual aid organisations and food banks, are between them providing a range of advice, support and practical help to members of our community who are coping with the results of Covid.

If you’re trying to find a test centre, self isolating and finding it difficult to shop or pick up prescriptions, or coping with very little income because you’re unemployed due to Covid, we hope you’ll find help and support from one of the organisations below. You will find their contact details by clicking on the links provided.

Labour has a long tradition of organising support and solidarity in communities during times of crisis. Many of our members who are in a position to help are already involved in community support. If  you can offer any form of help, this will also be welcomed by a number of groups, as indicated below.
