The Help Close By app was used by
members of the public during the first
half of 2021. However, in June 2021, tho
partner organisations lost their funding
for food support to the population (in
Birniingham). The second half of 2021
was dedicated to building up new
partnership links and planning to start a
Help Close By run weekly food package
service in the Ladywood area of
Birniingham which started in early 2022.
