A KIND-HEARTED Wistaston resident is continuing to support vulnerable members of the community during the pandemic.

Nadiah Mckeown setup a Facebook group as an isolation help group in March last year before the first national lockdown. She took in donations of food and other essential items to her home, and distributed her contact details so people in need could contact her and setup a JustGiving page to raise money to buy essential items.

Her Facebook group has once again come to the fore during the current lockdown and has over 3,000 members.

She says charities who need donations or volunteers; support groups; playgroups and school hosting events; and employers looking to fill positions are all welcome to post on the group.

Anyone who knows local places of interest, family fun days or even hacks and tips are also encouraged to post on the group.

To join the group please search 'Community Isolation Help Group for Wistaston, Crewe & Nantwich' group on Facebook or go to.

If anyone you know needs help with shopping please message Nadiah through Facebook or call her on 07788726356.

Nadiah said: "Anyone needing help or advice can post on the group, as someone in the group may be able to point them in the right direction in receiving help, support or advice.

"I am trying to organise a local gym to host daily/weekly classes suitable for any age as well as a weekly Zoom chat for all to join. There will also be videos of people's walks, runs, cycle rides for those who are stuck at home.

"I am open to suggestions from anyone who wants to host a daily session within the group, whether it's exercise, baking, crafts or music."
