It was heart-warming to see the community pull together, even though what prompted us coming together was such a dreadful experience. The Island Network is no longer delivering food parcels and meals, but we still want to find ways of bringing the community together and supporting those in need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cfTo catch up with the news in East London, go to:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eastlondonnews.co.uk\/\"><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">East London News<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cfWatch East London\u2019s weekly news magazine programme,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">live at 10pm every Tuesday and on demand all week:<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VodTalk\"><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The Tuesday Show<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE ISLAND NETWORK has been recognised for the community support work it has carried out on the Isle of Dogs during the Covid crisis over the last 18 months.
