Stevenage FC Coronavirus Community Careline

In light of the announcement of stricter measures and precautions being taken to protect those most vulnerable within our community, Stevenage Football Club has setup their Coronavirus Community Careline.

The careline will provide 4 key serices to our community during this tough time:

Foodbank Donations & Collections: The club will work with local Stevenage Foodbanks to encourage donations and collect items from people in self-isolation.
Community Kitchen: The Club’s kitchens will also be utilised to provide food for those in need, starting with an initial sandwich service, to provide food for those in most need.
Community Service: Local residents over 70 can call the helpdesk to log everyday requirements, ranging from picking up prescriptions to walking the dog. The helpdesk will then liaise with Stevenage staff and volunteers or local services.
Friendly Chat: Club staff will be on hand to take calls to provide a friendly ear and provide details of additional support services available.
