CORONA VIRUS UPDATE FROM ACTIVE FAMILIES NE
We are now in Lockdown 3.0! We hate the fact that we managed to get out and about again but now been forced back indoors for the foreseeable future. However, we've done it once, twice and we will continue to support you at home for the duration of the pandemic. Take a look below at what we are currently offering!
WHAT ARE WE DOING TO HELP?
WE ARE BACK TO WEEKLY PHONE CALLS AND NEWSLETTERS
Unfortunately we are unable to see you all in person again so we are back to calling everyone on our database regularly and sending out newsletters to keep the mind and body active throughout this lockdown. If you or someone you know would like to be added to our database just drop us an email which their details!

#COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
Thanks Sunderland City Council we were given funding to put together and create 100's of activity packs to distribute around the city. Care homes in the North of Sunderland and isolated elderly adults living in Millfield and South Hylton were some of the people who benefited from our packs.
what have we been doing to help others?
Meeting the community
We've been out an about using our funding to drop off activity packs to some isolated older adults. It's nice to just chat to some of these residents as they may not have seen or spoke to anyone for days or even weeks! The majority of these people have signed up to our fun and informative newsletters for 8 weeks thanks to funding from Sunderland City Council.
Donating to food banks
As we know the weeks/months leading up to Christmas can be tough and Sunderland food banks are always in desperate need of donations. We had lot's of donations given towards our Christmas hamper appeal and we also had a little left over so we donated everything we had to Washington Food Bank!!
