Zoe Porter lives in Marple in the North-West. When the virus hit she and another local woman immediately made links with other local people to start setting up a really impressive mutual aid response. Here she tells the story of getting it up and running and the challenges and successes. She offers her thoughts about what she is seeing happen in her town, issues around aligning with statutory efforts and tells of her hopes about what might be sustained once we emerge.
Give yourselves a round of applause, Zoe, and all the other volunteers in Marple! Fantastic work happening in Marple Mutual Aid
