COVID-19: help for those who need it, volunteering opportunities

Many people are keen to do what they can to help in the current crisis, and communities across Dringhouses & Woodthorpe are rallying round in terms of looking out for elderly or vulnerable neighbours.

A structured and safe approach to volunteering is important to ensure people get the support they need in a co-ordinated and safe way.

Residents who would like to volunteer are being asked to sign up by e-mailing volunteering@york.gov.uk or go to www.york.gov.uk/COVIDVolunteering  or call 01904 551550

Those vulnerable residents who do not currently have any access to support, but who need help because of impact of COVID-19, should e-mail Community Support Coordinators at covid19help@york.gov.uk or call 01904 551550 for assistance.
