Volunteering

Coronavirus (COVID-19) – HOW TO HELP OTHERS

Richmond Council is working with Richmond Council for Voluntary Services (Richmond CVS). They are best placed to co-ordinate volunteers safely and securely to help the most vulnerable whilst ensuring those getting help are protected.

This will allow organisations and groups to work together effectively to mobilise individuals who are able to help and match them to suitable volunteering tasks. These may include shopping for and delivery of food/supplies/prescriptions, walking dogs for those self-isolating, talking to those at risk of loneliness.
