If they really cared about their vulnerable customers there is a simple way they could do this via their website (if they paid for the additional service). I recently bought a set of knives and the company directed me to this site (after checkout with a bespoke link for me to complete)...

Unfortunately Abel and Cole don't deliver in my area, they seem to be London based and serve the South of the country (not the South West). Riverford milk is lovely, organic and fresh from the Devon farm, but not from Jersey cows. I think Riverford are trying to increase their range again, but...

Everfield Organics deliver nationwide, next day with DPD. They now have a pretty good range of produce, including dairy, bread, meats, flours and store cupboard items: https://www.eversfieldorganic.co.uk/ I may put in an order with them so that I am considered an 'existing customer' as I think...

Interesting reading one of the comments to the above article. One lady's healthy husband had been put on the shielding list whereas she had been left off, despite meeting the criteria. This is what happened to me with my daughter being put on the list instead of me. I think they must have been...

Following a link from the first HSJ article, I read the shocking information below. I think this may be relevant to members on the forum who have been left off the shielding list despite having other severe conditions.

It's not been officially announced. I was just looking up what the state of play is when I came across a Sun article stating the above and decided to see where they got the information from. The HSJ is somewhat more reliable as a source than the Sun and it's interesting to read the comments from...

https://www.hsj.co.uk/news/exclusive-shielding-programme-for-two-million-high-risk-patients-to-be-dropped/7027857.article Registration required to access the article, but I quoted it in full as it's very basic information at the moment.

There are plenty of priority slots available with Sainsburys in my area. But given that they only offer a very reduced range for online delivery (not sure if this is everywhere or just my area) and other people's reported problems and that I am fortunate enough to have a healthy daughter who can...

Previously there was a constant message from supermarkets to leave online shopping slots for people who were either isolating or unable to get into the shops (for example due to disability). This messaging now appears to have been forgotten, healthy people don't want the hassle of waiting in...

And they seem to have completely ignored the nations 700,000 plus 'young carers' (my own daughter had to start doing caring work to help me from the age of 7)...

I think one side effect of the public starting to think things are 'getting back to normal' is that it seems to be increasingly hard to get a supermarket delivery slot in my area. I've noticed that my fit, young and healthy, 2 car family with only one daughter (whose dad has shared custody of...

I posted this on the thread about shielding, but thought it may interest a wider number of members than that particular thread is aimed at: I was listening to Alexis Conrad on the radio on the weekend and he has written about his concerns with the track and trace programme potential to be used...

There was guidance issued to LA's on what the government was doing for shielded people. I haven't read it yet but plan to later.

Throughout this pandemic the government has been completely indifferent to the serious issue of exposing not just the average person, but the most vulnerable in society, to potential fraudsters and criminals. I've written on other threads about how bad the NHS Coronavirus Responder scheme is in...

Yeah, if I'd given my landline number when signing up to the government list I would definitely have assumed something fishy. It may still be hackers/scammers got that somehow, although I don't know how - I didn't think the supermarkets were given anything more than names and addresses, if they...

Yes, the GPs are being told they should be monitoring their shielded patients. and sending update letters. Yet I have heard nothing from them!

The fact that 'Darrell' has tried 3 times indicates to me that he is genuine as 3 attempts is standard DWP/Civil Service practice (I remember this from when I worked for the Child Support Agency). However, the CSA never left a phone message due to confidentiality issues. Even my own GP surgery...

I am going to get my daughter to arrange for EE to change my landline number and then send any bill to my M.P. to obtain financial compensation for me!

Additionally, the shielding service initially said that you would know a call is genuine because it would always come from the central number given on the shielding letter. So I have no idea if this is a genuine call or not. However, I never get nuisance calls because I never input my real...

The first call was just after 8am too - I am so stressed and angry about this!
