FOOD RUNS

Online Programmes
Weekly TV programmes been platformed By Euro Genc TV online, IPTV and various social media platforms. These programmes help give advice to the community both in Turkish and
English regarding Covid-19, Health, Well-being, Finance, Vaccinations and much more.
ESSENTIAL
Apart from ensuring that those in need not only get their food produce and weekly shopping, but we also have an addition to the project where we feel that the need of the vulnerable is not being supported. This includes pharmacy runs, purchase of items for the home i.e. vacuum cleaner. This highly dependant upon the need and availability of resources.
EMERGENCY PHONE LINE
An emergency telephone line service was launched during the first lockdown between March and July, a 24 hour service being operated. The aim was to provide an emergency service for those who lacked the ability to access information or could not speak in Turkish.

community together through a difficult time. Our counselling services are now being
developed to support issues that have arisen during this period.
