Meldreth Coronavirus Community Support MCCS – Looking to the Future The MCCS has been looking to the future! We formed in 2020 as ‘Meldreth Coronavirus Community Support’ to help Meldreth residents deal with the Covid crisis by forming a community network of volunteers and by raising funds. We delivered local help and filled the gaps left by regional and national government, their agencies and the charities. Hopefully the Covid crisis is passing but we are concerned at the difficulties arising from the Cost of Living Crisis. There are four distinct areas where, we think, current support is missing and where we can help: The demand for a Meldreth Food Bank The interest in an organised community social event - such as a charabanc trip to the seaside A shortage of practical advice and resources for keeping warm next winter A new Cheerbox for Christmas 2022 Please look out for an MCCS Flyer on helping out with the Cost of Living Crisis, to be delivered to Meldreth households a bit later in the year. And please let us know your thoughts on any other areas where we could be helpful, by contacting Ian Mitchell, our Secretary, at mitch308@btinternet.com. Meanwhile, we continue to try and support those adversely affected by Covid, with basic information, practical support and friendship and social contact. nOur neighbourhood network contact numbers are listed below. Vaccinations Mobile vaccination centres are still in operation—see the schedule at https://www.thevaccinators.co.uk.
