Waltham Forest has a Community Help Network, and helpline, to support vulnerable residents - those over 70, or who are self-isolating in line with NHS advice, and have no access to other community support. You can request help for yourself or an eligible relative; food packs and other parcels can be delivered to residents who need them most.
Free School Meals
If your child normally has free school meals and is not attending school, they can still have their meal. Your school will advise you about their arrangements, and what to do if you are self-isolating. To check if eligible click here. Meals may be:
- Packed lunch, hot box takeaways or food hampers collected from your child’s school or another local school.
- Supermarket vouchers which may be emailed to you.
- On site food provision for children attending school.

Ideas to keep busy
The council has a Digital Hub with a range of online resources: learning materials for children, recreation and eco-friendly activities to do at home, and tips to stay physically and mentally healthy.
Keep up to date with Council Services
Following Government instructions some Council services are reduced to ensure the safety of both residents and staff, but they are trying to ensure vital services continue. You can get up to date information on services and reaching them here.
