Do you know of people or a group that is going the extra mile to help others across Mansfield, Ashfield and Warsop during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Let us know and we will share the story here and in our print editions – simply email the details to [email protected].

One example is at the Academy Transformation Trust Further Education College [ATTFE], based at Sutton, which has launched a caring initiative to help its learners, staff and the communities it serves during the uncertainty over the coronavirus.

Mindful that its learners are starting to feel worried and concerned about the emerging national picture, the college has set up the ‘ATTFE College in the Community’ Facebook group to support learners, staff and community members during this challenging time.

The platform will be used to share information, create a volunteer network to support other members within the community who may be struggling, and to share exercise ideas, gardening tips, English skills, cooking tips etc.

The college said the group would be led by the learners and aimed to be a light within communities.

And if you have an event that has been cancelled because of the coronavirus situation, email [email protected] and we will post the details on here and our social media pages.
