Coronavirus #COVID19 Volunteers Required in Argyll and Bute
Channel: Argyll and Bute HSCP
Date: 2020-04-01

Coronavirus - To protect yourself and others, it’s really important that you follow the Government advice to stay at home unless essential to leave.   

However, it doesn’t mean that you’re alone, and there are many ways you can help your community.  

Whether it's practical or emotional support, there are lots of ways you can volunteer to help.

For some that may be right now in helping to manage the crisis, for others there will be roles in the weeks and months to come.

But for many of us, the most helpful thing we can do to support our NHS and our communities is to stay at home to save lives. 

You can only volunteer to carry out tasks which involve leaving your home, if you are not required to be isolating and are not in any risk categories.  Please check the latest advice at NHS Inform.
