The two-year partnership is the cornerstone of ‘Tesco Mobile Reconnects’, which between now and 2023, will see Tesco Mobile commit to giving over £2.4 million worth of phones, devices and connectivity to help vulnerable and disadvantaged people reconnect with society.

Its literally that easy just email them referencing Tesco Mobile Reconnects, how it would benefit a service user and what devices are needed and hopefully they will send one out to them.

Also don’t forget about the offer of cheap connection for those that have a device and are on benefits from VOXI below.

A phone company, VOXI, are providing unlimited data, calls and texts for any individuals on JSA, ESA and Universal Credit for £10 a month. Anyone eligible can apply for this up to 31^st January 2021 and the offer lasts for 6 months. No credit checks are done, nor is there a contract to sign. Payment is via a payment card.

Anyone eligible can apply through the link below – they will need to upload a photo of proof of benefits.

Mayor of Prescot Calls in a Favour from Father Christmas

The Mayor of Prescot Cllr Mark Burke has set about saving Christmas by calling in a favour from Father Christmas himself . Starting today the Mayor will be accompanying Father Christmas as he visits each of Prescot’s Primary Schools to provide every child in the town with a selection pack and let them know that lockdown and social distancing doesn’t mean Christmas is Cancelled. Some year 5 children from St Luke’s were even deputised as Elves so that they could hand out selection packs to the rest of the school.

Whilst the whole of Evelyn Primary came out into the playground were special representatives from each picked up a sack for each class.

Tier 2 – What does it mean ?

The Liverpool City Region has now moved into Tier 2 or High Alert Level.

So what does this actually mean?

Reviewing the latest government guidance it would appear that the new Tier 2 is very similar to the old Tier 3 which was in place in the City Region before the November Lockdown.

Full details of the rules are below:

Tier 2: High alert

This is for areas with a higher or rapidly rising level of infections, where some additional restrictions need to be in place.

In tier 2:

you must not socialise with anyone you do not live with or who is not in your support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place
you must not socialise in a group of more than 6 people outside, including in a garden or a public space – this is called the ‘rule of 6’
businesses and venues can continue to operate, in a COVID-Secure manner, other than those which remain closed by law, such as nightclubs
pubs and bars must close, unless operating as restaurants. Hospitality venues can only serve alcohol with substantial meals
hospitality businesses selling food or drink for consumption on their premises are required to:
- provide table service only, in premises which sell alcohol
- close between 11pm and 5am (hospitality venues in airports, ports, transport services and motorway service areas are exempt)
- stop taking orders after 10pm
hospitality businesses and venues selling food and drink for consumption off the premises can continue to do so after 10pm as long as this is through delivery service, click-and-collect or drive-through
early closure (11pm) applies to casinos, cinemas, theatres, museums, bowling alleys, amusement arcades, funfairs, theme parks, adventure parks and activities, and bingo halls. Cinemas, theatres and concert halls can stay open beyond 11pm in order to conclude performances that start before 10pm
public attendance at outdoor and indoor events (performances and shows) is permitted, limited to whichever is lower: 50% capacity, or either 2,000 people outdoors or 1,000 people indoors
public attendance at spectator sport and business events can resume inside and outside, subject to social contact rules and limited to whichever is lower: 50% capacity, or either 2,000 people outdoors or 1,000 people indoors
places of worship remain open but you must not socialise with people from outside of your household or support bubble while you are indoors there, unless a legal exemption applies
weddings and funerals can go ahead with restrictions on numbers of attendees – 15 people can attend wedding ceremonies and receptions, 30 people can attend funeral ceremonies, and 15 people can attend linked commemorative events such as wakes or stonesettings.
organised outdoor sport, and physical activity and exercise classes can continue
organised indoor sport, physical activity and exercise classes will only be permitted if it is possible for people to avoid mixing with people they do not live with (or share a support bubble with). There are exceptions for indoor disability sport, sport for educational purposes and supervised sport and physical activity for under-18s, which can take place with larger groups mixing
you can continue to travel to venues or amenities which are open, but should aim to reduce the number of journeys you make where possible
if you live in a tier 2 area, you must continue to follow tier 2 rules when you travel to a tier 1 area. Avoid travel to or overnight stays in tier 3 areas other than where necessary, such as for work, education, youth services, to receive medical treatment, or because of caring responsibilities.You can travel through a tier 3 area as a part of a longer journey
for international travel see the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office travel advice for your destination and the travel corridors list

Exemptions from gatherings limits in all tiers

as part of a single household, or a support bubble
for work or providing voluntary or charitable services, including in other people’s homes

for arrangements where children do not live in the same household as both their parents or guardians
