Volunteers are running a 'Deliveroo-style' scheme sending food and medicine to thousands in lockdown during the coronavirus outbreak.

The scheme, set up by Pembroke House community centre in Walworth, south London, takes food to people unable to leave their homes or recently unemployed as a result of the pandemic.

Volunteers have already delivered food, medicine and even cooked meals to hundreds in the area, and there are plans to ramp up the project significantly in the coming weeks.
