With a new lockdown in place, groups and organisations across Haringey including RISE Projects have come together under the banner of ‘Community Protect’ to strengthen local messages about COVID-19 and to help slow the rise of coronavirus in the borough.
This is the first time that so many groups and organisations in Haringey have joined forces to work together with a united voice, sharing essential public health messaging at a time when it is most needed.
Using their combined resources, and with financial support from Public Health in Haringey, the alliance of community groups and organisations is reaching out across all sections of Haringey’s diverse communities, ensuring that the right information gets to those most hard to reach, to help reduce health inequalities, build stronger communities and improve the quality of life of the people of Haringey.
With simple reminders about the actions we must all take to keep on protecting each other –washing hands, covering face and making space, as well as getting a test and self-isolating when necessary – the Community Protect alliance is sharing clear messages through printed media, online, through the press, in neighbourhoods and face-to-face where possible, to ensure that we are all doing the right things to protect ourselves, our communities, and our loved ones.
