I have passed on your details! Tracie on Jan 16, 2021 at 4:13pm Hiya I've e mailed about helping sundays I'm a nhs worker so not much help in the week as I'm working variable shifts. Reply Sarah James on Jan 20, 2021 at 4:11pm Hey Tracie. Thank you so much! If our operation hours extend to Sundays we will be in touch :) Nicky on Jan 18, 2021 at 10:33am Hi there, I could not see any details relating to age requirements for volunteering. I wondered if 16-18 year old could put their name forward? Was thinking as benefit to the 'volunteering' activity under a Duke of Edinburgh award and/or 'cadet in the community' syllabus star level pass in the cadets. Thank you Reply Sarah James on Jan 20, 2021 at 4:09pm Hello Nicky. Thanks for getting in touch. This work is not suitable for that age range unfortunately. We will keep this idea in mind though, in case something else turns up. Kirsty C on Jan 18, 2021 at 12:30pm I signed up and said I could possibly do 2 x 4 hour shifts a month, wanting to know more about how volunteers are kept safe etc but I’ve received no detailed information and been assigned a 7 hour shift with no option to accept or decline? Reply Sarah James on Jan 20, 2021 at 4:08pm Hello Kirsty. Thank you for signing up! All volunteers are required to wear PPE which is supplied. They are also given full guidance on staying safe. I have passed on your message regarding shifts so we'll be in touch soon. Ellen Lawson on Jan 18, 2021 at 10:22pm Hello, I am a Paramedic. My GP friend has done some work for you and passed on the details. Do you need clinical staff for vaccinations? Many thanks, Ellen Lawson Reply Sarah James on Jan 20, 2021 at 4:05pm Hi Ellen! The status is changing all the time so it's definitely worth you getting in touch. I have passed on your message and we'll be in touch. sarah Rankin on Jan 19, 2021 at 4:34pm Hi, I am very interested in being a volunteer at the COVID-19 Vaccination site at Brighton racecourse.

Carole Moorhouse on Jan 20, 2021 at 12:45pm I would be very interested in volunteering as marshall/steward but not at the racecourse as I have no transport but when the Brighton Centre is operational I would like to volunteer for there as it is near my home and I also have a long experience in stewarding which I do at the Brighton Centre in normal times???? Reply Sarah James on Jan 20, 2021 at 3:59pm Thanks so much Carole. I have passed on your message. It is still worth signing up as more Brighton sites will open soon.
