Our COVID-19 Food Appeal
Some of our recipients
We are working tirelessly with our local communities to ensure that those in need and the vulnerable are cared for and provided with essentials including food. Our teams have braved it from crucial meetings to discuss strategy to downing surgical masks and gloves and taking it to the community.
​
With local charities serving vital meals including breakfast closing down due to shortage of food donations and risks posed by COVID-19. We devised a way of raising donations of essentials. We approached local shops, discussed with them about who we are and what we are doing and what we are looking to achieve. The local shops came on board and have been very supportive, they donated a great amount of food from big bags of rice to boxes of patties.
With the support of local shops who donated food we have to date supported more people who have different needs and difficulties from physical health including sickle cell condition to immigration issues. Our team ensures that the food is dropped off safely outside the recipient's address and the recipient notified.
- Recipient of food donations - wheelchair user Westminster Road BIRMINGHAM.

THE SICK BE NOURISHED PROJECT
Keeping Our communities safe during the Coronavirus outbreak
​
Dear All
​
In light of the uncertainty we all face in our daily lives with the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) We wanted to write to you to keep you informed of the steps we have asked of our team at The Sick be Nourished Project to ensure we are prepared for all scenarios. Our absolute number one priority is the safety of our teams, volunteers and beneficiaries. In this regard, meetings and events will be cancelled until further notice.
We will however be able to signpost those who need urgent supply of food,
The Sick be Nourished project team will be available in a limited capacity to offer assistance and answer questions as best as we can.
​
Hygiene Is Critical
There is still a lot we do not know about Coronavirus, but health authorities have been clear that maintaining good hygiene, is absolutely critical. Our Partners on the continent working on the front lines, have limited access to vital health facilities including surgical masks, gloves, a constant supply of water and testing kits. Health facilities across Africa will need to ramp up services in hospitals, clinics and drop in centres, yet many will fall short and be unable to cope with any major increase in demand.
We currently provide ‘Clinic in a Box’, to under-resourced communities, which normally contains 50 surgical masks, we have instructed our packaging team to increase the number from 50 to 100, We are appealing for your support through donations towards more surgical masks and much needed gloves.
​
Our Appeal To you
Sick Be Nourished Projects ‘Clinic in a Box ‘ is designed for situations where reaching remote areas to save lives is crucial particularly during this current Corona Virus outbreak. Your support through monetary funds, items such as surgical masks, gloves, will assist us greatly to achieve our goal of increasing the number of ‘Clinic in a Box’ and supplying them where they are needed the most.
