 Welcome support from businesses
The council is undertaking a huge operation to make sure the most vulnerable people in Sandwell have access to what they need during the Covid-19 pandemic.
There have already been lots of kind offers of help from Sandwell businesses (thank you!) – and there are lots of ways businesses can help.
Find out how your business could help at the council’s Can You Help webpage, whether it’s donations of PPE or something else you could contribute.
The council is especially looking for donations of fluid-repellent face masks and single-use disposable gloves and aprons to help maintain adult social care stocks over the coming months.

Food shopping has been highlighted as one of few activities
