VOLUNTEERING ***Only volunteer for registered organisations*** YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU! COVID - 19 LOCAL RESPONSE During this time of difficulty for many in our community, it is natural to want to help others. VOLUNTEERS NETWORK As these weeks have continued, I have share people’s concern for those who are self-isolating, or shielding themselves due to advanced age or long term, underlying health conditions. My thoughts are particularly with those who cannot rely on family to bring essentials to their doorstep. That is why I launched a call to arms for volunteers in our area to come together and be available to support anybody who needs it in our area. Already we have matched those in need with local people to help supply essential supplies or a friendly chat. Get involved and help the community effort

I also welcome the (at time of writing) amazing 750,000 individuals who signed up to be an NHS volunteer. These people are helping to deliver medicines, and other essentials to isolated people, helping to tackle loneliness with a phone call, or driving patients’ home from hospitals safely. The response to this international crisis has beenamazing, and the ordinary people of our communities are really shining examples of the very best we can be. The efforts of our local authorities who have worked with charities and local organisations to keep our area safe and well, can also not go unmentioned. I have regular phone calls with local authorities as we move through this pandemic and will continue to feed back local issues where necessary.

„ Are you self-isolating? But have no family to help you get food or prescriptions? „ Are you finding these periods of self-isolation mentally draining and lonely? „ Do you know of an elderly neighbour that needs support? Then please contact us as we have a network of volunteers who are ready to help in our area.
