URGENT HELP NEEDED

by

As we enter a time of increased numbers of people being asked to isolate, we need some volunteers to help out.

If you are fit and well with a couple of hours to give or more, please get in touch with us as soon as you can.

If you have volunteered with us before or you are new to volunteering it’s really a wonderful thing to do!!Our team at One Community will get your papers completed as soon as possible so we can get you out helping in our community.

Any hours you can offer are of help to us and the people isolating within the area.

We are particularly looking for volunteers to do some shopping and drop it off at a persons home.

Also, looking for people who can collect and deliver medical prescriptions.

Stopping Smoking

by

Thinking about giving up smoking? You already know how it’s bad for your health and is actually going to cause you more troubles if exposed to Covid-19.

Covid-19 particularly effects the lungs and respiratory tract, which can be weakened and damaged by smoking.

Also you are more likely to touch your face as a smoker.

todayistheday.co.uk is to help people like you to give up smoking for good.
