The Managing Agents for the Garden would like to advise that if anyone needs any extra assistance (for example if you are elderly and staying at home and / or self quarantining and need help with food deliveries or anything else) do feel free to email them (info@wb19.co.uk) and they will work on finding someone to help you out.

One of our committee members has also kindly sent through the following details for some relevant local resources:

  • Covid 19 Mutual Aid UK - a website where you can find the local group set up to support the most vulnerable.

  • Westminster Mutual Aid - Garden resident Olivia Woodward has teamed up with other volunteers to set up a website so that they can coordinate efforts for anyone who needs help in the Westminster area, including Little Venice. If you need help or know of anyone that does, please feel free to request help via the website and they will be in touch to connect you with a volunteer who can help.

  • NextDoor - a local social media network, you join the service and then join the specific local groups(e.g Maida Vale, Little Venice and Paddington) and messages posted by others in those neighbourhoods get sent to your inbox.

  • Westminster Council's Volunteering page - you can apply to become a volunteer to help the Council in their various support activities.

  • The Little Venice Matters Facebook Page - run by local Councillor Melvyn Caplan.
