Hello thanks for visiting our website!

Communities Together was created as a response to the needs of BELLSHILL, MOSSEND & THORNIEWOOD Areas in North Lanarkshire against the backdrop of Coronavirus. We are an umbrella group that pulls together the community response to COVID-19 to make sure we have all areas covered and supported where we can. We hope that we can identify people who may need support now, and may be vulnerable for many reasons, and get help to them.

We are operating out of the Bellshill YMCA (294 Main Street, Bellshill, ML4 1AB) – the group will be preparing food parcels and other essentials for delivery to vulnerable people in the Bellshill, Mossend and Thorniewood communities during this difficult time.

The Group will also support the collection and delivery of key items including Prescriptions to vulnerable people.

We will signpost and give information via the helpline where people can be linked in to Befriending for a telephone call and given information on other services, and through adding information packs to the shopping. We are also aware that although people need help now, we also need to prepare for after lock down, so with your help we can make sure all areas of our community are strong and supported.

The group involved represent a number of community councils, community groups, NHS, Council Employees and Elected Members, and individuals who live in Bellshill and surrounding communities.

Please, if you can, volunteer with us! Even if you’re self-isolating or shielding, there are still jobs you can help with.

Thank you for volunteering!
