Teachers in the Design and Technology Department made the face masks using a 3D printer and also supplied film for the visors. It's brilliant that the school has been able to help the wider community, but distressing that so many front-line staff are still without the equipment they need to stay safe.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><em>Arthouse Cinema in Crouch End, our excellent local independent has sent round the following suggestions for film viewing during the general closure of everything. For those not on their mailing list, here are sources they propose (I've edited their message):</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:15px;">Dear Arthouse supporters,<br /> <br /> We hope that you are all doing well and staying safe in these difficult times. The Arthouse team appreciates your continued support and we look forward to welcoming you back as soon as possible.<br /> <br /> We will continue to keep the cinema closed for as long as the government deems it necessary, in order to protect both you and our staff. And we are grateful that we are one of the many businesses that will be supported by the government’s Job Retention Scheme, which will help us pay up to 80% of the salaries of our staff during this crisis.<br /> <br /> As cinemas close, the online space is the place to go. Curzon, MUBI and BFI deliver us with those ever so fitting arthouse titles we pride our name on, and so we're more than happy to point your eyes in their direction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:15px;">What we should have been screening right now is The Truth, Hirokazu Kore-eda's English debut, and one we were massively looking forward to – Shoplifters is an ArtHouse Crouch End favourite. Thankfully we've been able to enjoy it since Friday as Curzon often release their films into cinemas and on their online platform Curzon Home Cinema: <a href="https://www.curzonhomecinema.com/collections/welcome_collection" target="_blank">https://www.curzonhomecinema.com/collections/welcome_collection</a>. <em>You get a film free when you sign up.</em><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:15px;">BFI are offering 14 days free at <a href="https://player.bfi.org.uk/subscription" target="_blank">https://player.bfi.org.uk/subscription</a>. Great historic classics and crtically acclaimed recent productions, with curated playlists of films with a special introduction or notes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:15px;">MUBI,<a href="https://mubi.com/" target="_blank">https://mubi.com/</a> a hand-picked selection of films, whether they are cult classics, forgotten masterpieces, or freshly picked cinema from the latest festival around the world. The films of Ingmar Bergman, Charlie Chaplin, Jean-Luc Godard, Albertina Carri, Kleber Mendonça Filho (director of Bacurau) are showing on MUBI right now. This collection is free for 3 months for Arthouse members, <em>so if you are likely to go to the cinema when it reopens, and would like to support it through the downtime and show appreciation you can join online.</em> <br /></span></p></div>Thanking our health workershttps://alexandraparkneighbours.org.uk/forum/thanking-our-health-workers2020-03-21T12:16:43.000Z2020-03-21T12:16:43.000ZSimon Rawlinsonhttps://alexandraparkneighbours.org.uk/members/SimonRawlinson<div><p>Outram Rd residents will be applauding our health workers from tonight onwards at 7pm.

The experience of the past few days has been that hyper local support groups (at street level) work best. Earlier in the week, some elderly residents received multiple leaflets and offers of help, due to the duplication of efforts from local groups working on the same patch. This more strategic approach aims to avoid that. In addition, residents needing support are more likely to be familiar with people on their own streets, so this deeply local approach makes sense.</p>

<p>Cllr Nick da Costa has set up an Alex Covid-19 Mutual Aid WhatsApp group which will be used to coordinate support locally for people in self-isolation and/or otherwise vulnerable. If you'd like to volunteer to help, eg with leafletting, delivering shopping or other errands, or talking to people on the phone, please join the group at this link:</p>

<p>Nick is starting a google spreadsheet where you will be able to add notes on what help you can offer.</p>

<p>Please also see the Haringey Covid 19 Mutual Aid Facebook group for further information. The following is copied from it:</p>
<p>It is incredibly important that we are aware of safety and hygiene as we seek to build support and solidarity in our communities. Queercare has put together a set of guidelines, which you can see here: <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fqueercare.network%2Fcovid-19%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1i7x27EaQ-R8N7kD8rSs22MgGvCmjFhfvCKqfF9TbOhsmKeKWVKLXWR-s&h=AT3ZOCGUqNc5ciygHMG6F3ZWtXtJrsfT3KYc4VtSyZr-RBLUO7vs4CBZIHYE0Gr-7BJdULftIemeUlMkExT668B8MgaLuN3P_51qFrC1OsyisD6FKaIDkDKx-Uy4dYEglSRFKaVB2umqK32Br0ae0OI" target="_blank">https://queercare.network/covid-19/</a>. Please take care to read these if you are taking part in community support/ solidarity work for Haringey Mutual Aid.</p>
<p>As we develop our mutual aid community it is important that we are holding ourselves accountable for our actions. This group is founded on respect, care and solidarity. Incite has some useful resources on how to put accountability into practice: <a href="https://incite-national.org/community-accountability/?fbclid=IwAR3o_UTQIeUu24b_F8SCXMPQ9VnMZ38JZEzqYhCIocET0mkRY1YjAMl5_QA" target="_blank">https://incite-national.org/community-accountability/</a></p>
