As the Coronavirus prompts uncertain times, local communities have taken action in a bid to help those who might be struggling with the ramifications of self-isolation or stockpiling - in the form of 'Covid-19 Mutual Aid' groups.
The Facebook groups have been springing up over the past week, with towns and villages coming together and organising how they can help people as the situation unfolds.
Pages have been made for areas across Glossop, Hollingworth, Tintwistle and more, utilising the help of local touchpoints such as The Bureau on Henry Street and parish groups to assist anyone who might be self-isolating or having trouble obtaining much-needed items.
Sarah Tinsley, Emma Threlfall, Rob Baker, Tracy-Jane Fielding, Samantha Riddle and Owain Paciuszko are admins of the Glossop Covid-19 Mutual Aid page, who have been working tirelessly to help organise resident efforts to help one another in uncertain times.
Speaking to the Chronicle, Samantha said she was prompted to start the group following disappointment over the Government's response to the crisis:
"Inspired by the Covid-19 mutual aid groups I'd seen friends posting about in their areas, and disappointed by the Government's lack of action - and at worst dereliction of duty - in dealing with the outbreak, I decided to set one up for Glossop.
For more information, you can request to join the group by searching "Glossop Covid-19 Mutual Aid" on Facebook.
