Safe Leafleting

We’ve pulled together some advice on best practice for collecting and delivering things for people. This post is about delivering leaflets with information - for example about how to join a street community.

Printing:

• Wash your hands thoroughly before taking leaflets out of the printer and put the leaflets directly into a ziploc bag. 

• Keep printed material in small piles in ziploc bags. 

• Don’t stockpile excess leaflets.

Distributing Leaflets 

• Don’t leaflet in large groups - ones and twos is best. When leafleting in small groups, avoid physical contacts or exchanging resources.

• Make sure to wash your hands well before starting leafleting and use hand sanitiser if you are able to at regular intervals.

• Only one person should handle leaflets from each ziplocked pack, putting them directly from the bag through the door for each house and minimising contact as far as possible

• Please don’t go out to help people if you or your family are in isolation or ill, even if you only have mild symptoms.
