Below is a link to some psychological first aid training which can be accessed by front line staff and volunteers.
It’s a free online course which teaches responders how to give practical and emotional support for people affected by coronavirus.
The link is down below, and we thought this might be a good thing to share with the volunteers and staff of front line organisations helping people in our communities.

Have you been closed during lockdown?
Worried about how to open safely?
Not sure where to start?
Here is One Community’s very own Hayley doing a video to help you through every step.
Honestly it’s the bees knees and really practical.
Please let us know if you find it helpful and need more support if you are a not for profit organisation in Fareham or Eastleigh areas.
A lot of people have been told that they can go out once a day to exercise, who are at higher risk.
Many others are carers for people who are disabled or otherwise vulnerable.
Often shopping is something that is just too high risk. In that case, please follow our handy chart.
Easy Peasy text giving.
Help us to keep on helping in our communities.
Every donation welcome.
Every penny helps us keep our CV volunteer response team going and our staff delivering shopping, making support calls, prescriptions, young carers packs etc.

Here is one of our superb CV response volunteers our shopping for vulnerable people who have to self-isolate.
Raphaelle Vingre is really enjoying doing this role.
Here are some comments we have had from the people we have helped:
I’m so grateful for all the One Community volunteers, they’re kind, friendly and do a great job. I feel supported.
Having shopping delivered means I can stop worrying about trying to eek out my supplies until my son can get to the shops. He works shifts so it’s been very difficult. We are so glad of this wonderful service. Plus they [the volunteers] are cheerful and smile and wave. That means a lot to me.
My neighbour lives alone and I was concerned about her not getting her medication, so I rang One Community. They took it all in hand and deliver her medications every week. I was so relieved.
If you need medications or shopping delivered as you are vulnerable and self isolating ring us on 023 8090 2400 or email vss@1community.org.uk
If you know anyone in need by all means call us and we can try to help. We work in Eastleigh and Fareham areas in Hampshire.
Right now there is a bunch of keen, able and really amazing volunteers helping in the community.
