#shielding in the UK ended officially on 31/03/21. However, for many #shielders who do not have the luxury of working from home, their return to work & the outside world will most likely be an incredibly daunting one - OUR #SHIELDINGBADGE CAN HELP!!

What does ‘Shielded With Love’ on our badges mean?
It means that as shielders & their families begin their journeys to rejoin society, their protection - their ‘shields’ - are now upheld by the wider community instead of their homes.
Protecting & looking out for each other.
Our ‘Shielded With Love’ badges are here to assist former shielders as they make their way back into the community.

It can be tricky to recall symptoms, when you're speaking to your doctor. We've created a diary, with supporter @BowelWarrior, for anyone worried about having symptoms of #bowelcancer. It has space to note info before visiting the doctor.

Stay indoors were you can. If you are vulnerable and need help in Croydon or you know anyone who is shielding and will struggle to get food, email [email protected] and we can signpost to support.
BREAKING: I have declared a major incident in London because the threat this virus poses to our city is at crisis point.
One in 30 Londoners now has COVID-19. If we do not take immediate action now, our NHS could be overwhelmed and more people will die.

One of the most disappointing things that stands out from the devastating position London finds itself in presently, is that a large % of people still have not embraced the concept of taking preventative actions to protect others when they are out & about 😔

The latest advice on COVID-19 puts vulnerable people at risk. We're calling on @GOVUK to provide better financial and practical measures for vulnerable people. We need:
💷 Financial support
🛒 Access to essentials
🏥 Access to health & care services
🗣 Better communication
“Just point to the badge!” 🙏🏽💟
For anyone that is vulnerable or experiencing people not respecting there privacy my friend has made a wonderful badge to help out especially when your masked and can’t mouth it to people. Just point to the badge!!! @shieldingbadge ⬅️ check out the link!
🙏🏽💟
@shieldingbadge check out my friends page she has made these wonderful badges for people that are vulnerable!
Further confirmation that shielders have just been left to manage their own risk out in the community since ‘the pause’. How can the extremely clinically vulnerable now be expected to rejoin society with the same level of safety precautions as the non-clinically vulnerable?!? 🤷🏽♀️

1/ We’ve listened to a lot of complaints about this new ‘law of 6’ on @LBC today & couldn’t help thinking about the shielding community & how disheartening & scary it must feel knowing that community transmission rates are climbing so quickly again, just as *their* lockdown eases
4/ Shielders shouldn’t be forgotten as contributors to our economy. They WANT to return to work, to places of worship, to social activities & after being isolated for much longer than most of the general population, are at risk of their mental health being adversely affected.

The forgotten community - SHIELDERS!!! 😔
This Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more
So pleased to have distributed over 100 ‘Shielded With Love’ badges to shielders & their loved ones over the past couple of weeks!
It’s been really promising to have received interest from a variety of sectors including education & charitable organisations this past week...
Here’s to continuing to spread the word & to getting our badges out to as many in the shielding community as possible.
Thank you, thank you! 🙏🏾💟
