Urgent help and support COVID-19

Barnet Community Help Hub
The Community Help Hub has been set up to assist Barnet residents most in need of extra help. It brings together a network of local support, established community groups, and new and existing volunteers.
As well as providing essential support and supplies, the Barnet Community Help Hub is also a way for Barnet residents to help each other. Whether that’s donating your time or other resources, sharing positive community stories, or having a friendly conversation with someone who might otherwise be cut off from their community.
If you are struggling to cope or are concerned about a friend or neighbour who needs some help.
