Volunteers will be provided with the appropriate PPE, guidance on infection control and training where applicable.
Technical Support
This role would require you to support one of our clients either over the phone or face to face (when the current restrictions permit this) with technical queries and setting up tablets.
Phone Buddies
This is a light keeping in touch service calling 1 or 2 people a minimum of once a week from home.
Shopping Support
Volunteers will be given a shopping list and collect shopping for people who are unable to get out. They then drop the shopping and card/cash back to their homes.
New Role – Walking Buddies!
We are also looking at launching a new volunteer support service; This role is exactly as it says, a volunteer to accompany someone on their daily walk adhering to all of the current government guidelines of course, but it would be a simple role that would mean so much to a service user facing another lockdown.
Volunteers will collect meals from the McQue’s (caterers based at the Marjorie & Arnold Community Centre, 311 Stonegate Road, Leeds LS17 6AZ) dropping them off to people using their own cars.
