People across the UK have been affected by COVID-19 in a number of ways, but one of the biggest challenges for many has been accessing food.

In these difficult times, one of the things we can all take comfort from is the incredible support that can be seen throughout communities across the country.

As the need to stay at home continues, Shropshire Council has quickly mobilised to support residents, businesses and communities through the COVID-19 crisis.

Self-isolation can be challenging, but many people are using the lockdown to improve their knowledge by learning valuable new career skills.

For many of us, self-isolation during the COVID-19 outbreak can present significant challenges for our mental and physical wellbeing.

Despite self-isolation and social distancing measures, communities across the county and the rest of the country are coming together in a show of support.
