We’re repurposing The Pickle Factory [13 All Hallows Road, BS5 0RP] to support our friends and neighbours in the face of COVID-19. Services are moving into the following pockets
1. Food production for vulnerable/isolated/ill neighbours via teams like Super Supper Club
2. Supplies distribution in tandem with 1 above
3. Communications hub. We’ve got a fast broadband link that can support local groups comms, and remote Youth & Community work
To do this, we are planning
A. Kitchen operating 5-7 day a week
B. Secure storage in shipping container equipped with power & light for frozen/dry food/goods. With the expansion options [e.g. The adjacent Hall]
C. Comms hub model using free software & support – what happens when the homeschooling laptop crashes?
D. Flat flexible structures based on self-organising volunteer groups focused on discrete tasks [pockets] that can respond fast and cope with sickness and vacancies
We are working with several groups and organisations including
- Bagga-youth
- All Hallows Hall
- Bristol Muslim Cultural Society
- National Food Service
- ACORN
- RADE
- Plan-EL
- Marsh Maker
- Peace of Art
We need volunteers [doesn’t everybody!]. We also need these skills
- Food Handling
- Youth Work
- ICT
- Logistics
- Emergency Planning
- Links with every part of our Community
