URGENT- we need COVID SUPPORT VOLUNTEERS

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

Would you have a couple of hours a week or more to give to a person in need in the Eastleigh area during the pandemic? If you are a student, furloughed or looking for a job this is a great thing for your CV while you are not in work.

If you simply have a few hours you can give to those who are vulnerable in our community- we would LOVE to hear from you.

We often get quotes from our volunteers, here is one we had recently.

“I started volunteering to help out but I did not realise how much volunteering would help me out- I am more confident and it is fun!“

We are looking for volunteers to help with:

  • Shopping and delivery
  • Companionship telephone calls
  • Basics Bank deliveries

If you think you would like to help, ideally you will have a DBS and 2 references, but if you do not have these yet- please still contact us and we will assist you. We cover the cost of calls and the fuel costs involved.

Please email: volunteer@1community.org.uk or call 023 8090 2400 and ask for the volunteering department.
