B & H COVID-19 advice and support

Brighton & Hove City Council COVID-19 Community Advice and Support Hub

Vulnerable people who do not have any friends, family or a support worker to help you can get additional COVID-19 related support from the community advice and support hub.

Types of help available include:

• Finding help with shopping, collecting prescriptions and other support– because you or someone in your household has symptoms or are considered especially vulnerable at this time and you do not have anyone who can help you.
• Emergency food bank referrals–basic packages of (usually) non-perishable goods are available from food-banks for those in most critical need.

Support to keep active and well and to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness – we can put you in touch with organisations who can provide advice and support with keeping active, and keeping in touch with others.

If you, or someone you know needs support, go to: new.brighton-hove.gov.uk/coronavirus-help

If you have no way of getting online and no one to help you, call 01273 293117, and press option 2 (Monday to Friday, 10am to 4.30pm)
