how to get involved in helping (or being helped by) people who live near you

For now, the number one thing we have on this is the Acorn the Union page where you can sign up to give or get help.

Also, OpenKitchenMcr is looking for money, food and humans.

We will also probably set up a spreadsheet with the contact details of groups throughout Manchester’s 32 wards.

And we will signal boost whatever we can out of the Council, churches, mosques etc.
