A life-changing year in numbers: LFC's COVID-19 community response Supporting the community isn't new for LFC Foundation and Red Neighbours – yet the requirement throughout the COVID-19 pandemic for even the most basic of needs has become the main focus for the staff and volunteers. Social isolation, food poverty and wellbeing were soon identified as the three main areas of need in the local community when the lockdown began last March. Wellbeing: We supported the physical and mental health of our communities by delivering 800 virtual fitness sessions, created online grassroots sports programmes for 7,000 children and supported 69 local schools, helping teachers and children to stay active.
