Double your donation today to help Katherine Low Settlement (a much loved, 96 year old, community-based charity) provide immediate and much-needed support throughout this Coronavirus crisis to impoverished and elderly local people in Battersea.

Beneficiaries
Situation
We estimate 15-25% of Battersea's population (elderly, those in poor physical/mental health, refugees, in insecure work etc) will be vulnerable to the effects of social isolation and poverty, due to the Coronavirus lockdown, over the coming months (Census, 2011; GLA mid-2016). This will result in local people not having access to basic necessities such as food and medicines, being lonely and isolated, debt and financial issues, family/relationship problems (including DV), health issues and more.
Solution
Your support will enable us to respond, adapt and refocus our work so that we can better support our members/users (300+elders, 250+refugee young people and their families, 100+ESOL (English) learners and 45+ community partners) in this time of crisis; and help us to coordinate the Battersea community response to Coronavirus with local partners such Battersea Coronavirus Angels, Big Local SW11 Alliance and the Wandsworth Voluntary Sector Partnership.
