Flu Buddies
As the swine flu pandemic is getting worse, FARA is looking for ways in which our local community can help each other.
NHS advice is to establish a network of ‘flu friends’ who, if you get diagnosed with swine flu and are prescribed antiviral medication, can collect it on your behalf from a distribution centre. However, for people who don’t have friends or relatives in the area it may be difficult to get this kind of help. So FARA is organising a group of volunteers who will help out if a fellow resident needs someone to collect their medication and basic supplies of food etc.
if you are interested in being a flu buddy, or if you are in need of a flu buddy yourself, please get in touch with FARA:
by email info@fara-leytonstone.org.uk
or phone 07970 730463 or 020 8539 6141.
