John   11 #14 Posted March 18, 2020 Found on Facebook  If any over 70s are struggling for their bread from the supermarkets etc, please give us a call on 01142396019 with a days notice and you can come and collect freshly baked bread and/or bread cakes free of charge. Collection is Birley Moor Bakery, on Birley Moor Rd. We will do everything we can to help out our community and people in need at this worrying time. Courtesy of Meadows Bakery. Xx  EDIT- we have recieved a few messages from people under 70 who are wanting to order bread at our regular prices, we are happy to take your bread orders on the number provided and collection will be available from either our store at Birley or our bakery in Handsworth (01142699261). While we cannot offer free bread to everybody, we can guarantee a plentiful supply of our fresh bread while avoiding the hustle and bustle of the supermarkets.

NewBiz   10 #15 Posted March 18, 2020 17 hours ago, mort said: To be fair it was @NewBiz who started this off Hi yes I wanted to start a thread where younger people able to help those in their area who are older/unwell could be put in touch with one another. Thinking things such as running errands, doing some shopping or just a friendly phone call  Since I first tried to start the thread a few days ago I've taken on 3 households just from people I know, but could still offer some help if you're in the Loxley, Wisewood, Worrall, Bradfield or Wadsley area. So if you or a relative need help please pm me.  Is there anyone else out there who could offer their help?  Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jeannieC   10 #21 Posted March 21, 2020 What a wonderful gesture of the bakery I would not expect free bread and would willingly pay as I expect many other over 70's would Well done . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jaffa1   10 #22 Posted March 22, 2020 I think we should all thank the medical staff who are doing a fantastic job trying to keep us healthy while risking their own lives. THANK YOU , we are very grateful . And also to the volunteers who are helping the old and vulnerable who are isolating and have no one else to help them. THANK YOU very much, there are some good people in the world. Not all selfish shelf strippers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
