Volunteers have been working closely with several organisations, such as Merton Council, MVSC, the Dons Local Action Group and many more.

The group has had a tremendous sign up of 1300 volunteers so far and hopes to continue to help those vulnerable in the coming weeks.

Zakaria Dada, Founder of Merton Mutual Aid group, said: “I felt I couldn’t just sit at home and watch it unfold in my community.

“I had to do something to support my neighbours and I knew I wasn’t alone in wanting to help others.

“We are already making a difference locally setting up ward by ward; street by street to provide support where needed."
