I know we have a number of UK people so i just wanted to mentioned specifically that the NHS are now looking for 250,000 volunteers to help them.
The NHS is “rallying the troops” for the war on coronavirus, with volunteers being called up to help vulnerable people stay safe and well at home.
The nation is looking for up to 250,000 volunteers to help up to 1.5 million people who have been asked to shield themselves from coronavirus because of underlying health conditions.
Members of the public can sign up quickly and easily at goodsamapp.org/NHS to become NHS Volunteer Responders, and can be called on to do simple but vital tasks such as:
– delivering medicines from pharmacies;
– driving patients to appointments;
– bringing them home from hospital;
– or making regular phone calls to check on people isolating at home.
(Currently England only, other parts of the country have not yet set something up)
I was told by a friend that it also says somewhere in the application that they are going to be used by Scotland as well, so you should be able to still sign up for when that becomes available.
