We work with voluntary and community sector organisations across the UK, never have their services been more in demand. People everywhere are wanting to offer their time and help to support the most socially isolated and vulnerable in our society. Lots of informal networks, and neighbourhood groups have been setup to support those most in need, whilst this is great, we also need to consider the safety of the vulnerable people who are being supported. We have been asked to help support and co-ordinate this influx of people wanting to become volunteers, ensuring this can be managed in a safe way.
Responding to COVID-19
We have setup this new service for anyone wanting to volunteer, so that they can be taken through the appropriate channels, to ensure that both they and the people they are supporting are safe. If any local authorities or volunteer centres are not already working with us, and would like to make use of this service, please get in touch and we would be more than happy to help.
