Providing Information & Services to the local community

Hello! We are Anna, Claire and Caitlin

Thank you for visiting our website. After setting up the Buxton Street by Street COVID-19 Support group up on Facebook on March 16th, Anna Watson was quickly joined by Claire Mitchell and Caitlin Bisknell who have been instrumental in building it into what it has become

Notable successes to date have been after inviting just 100 friends to the Facebook group, there are now nearly 2,400 members; there have been 1.7k posts, we have 200 volunteers performing a multitude of tasks.
