London Borough of Lewisham, GB leverages local partnerships through COVID-19 Response Hub
London Borough of Lewisham, GB COVID-19 Response Hub
Residents interested in volunteering from home or with foodbanks signed up on the hub website. Borough employees and volunteers used the hub to process requests from residents in need of check-in calls and essential deliveries. The COVID-19 Response Hub housed a local charity directory and a newsfeed with stories about community initiatives. The London Borough of Lewisham created the portal with local partners to show its commitment to Locality's Keep It Local initiative.
