Petition UK Government: issue care packages to the elderly and vulnerable

Issue care packages to the elderly and vulnerable so they are able to stay safely at home and not be victim to the lack of essentials from panic buying.

More details

This will ensure the most vulnerable of our society are being adequately looked after. Activities such as going shopping for supplies are already difficult for this group of people, which is currently being made harder by the lack of food and supplies being available due to the public engaging in panic buying.

Share your experiences of accessing food coronavirus outbreak

Have you struggled to get your weekly shop? Are you self-isolating or shielding and relying on deliveries or food parcels? Do you use a foodbank?  
 
A group of MPs called the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee would like to hear about your experiences of accessing food during the coronavirus outbreak.

You can share your experiences here: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=nt3mHDeziEC-Xo277ASzSsdf6aRbb_hHi61kcnJ3-KJUOFFXNEhLSDlFTUZaQzU1TlNEWVkwUVhHUC4u
 
They’d like to hear from you by 28 April. Your answers will help them to understand the issues people are facing and what questions MPs need to ask the Government.
