Loads of fresh fruit and veg. No frozen at all but plenty to make a meal out of.
What they need to be doing is sorting out the delivery crisis.
I fear they going to try and classify as priority by diagnosis only (using the covid vulnerable group), which is a dangerous game to play. As diagnosis is a very unreliable way of determining who is able and who isnt.
There are lots of volunteer groups now up and down the uk who are bringing shopping to people unable to get out
How do I get in touch with these volunteer groups? I am also happy to pay them.
I should think there is something similar in every village, town and city throughout the uk by now. Google the name of your location plus 'shopping help coronovirus' and hopefully it will turn something up.
Im guessing, since you cant get to a shop, that you had carers coming in before this crisis hit?
Did they not set you up with an emergency phone number. If you are in a small town or village, the post office or village shop will know. Phone them.
In a large town or city, im not too sure but hopefully someone else can help out here?
@Adrian_Scope maybe?

Looks like Facebook is the way to get in touch! Sorry, not being on Facebook myself, it is the last place i would have thought of. Im sure someone can help put you in touch with your local group.
All the best, hope you get this sorted soon
I dont have a scooter because my property isnt suitable, council apparently have determined I dont meet their criteria to register for a property, so that will remain the case, and I live alone so no other member of the household to do stuff for me.
