The Government has launched an urgent appeal for 250,000 volunteers to help the NHS in the battle against Coronavirus.
Volunteers can support in a number of roles including;
  • Community Response volunteer: This role involves collecting shopping, medication or other essential supplies for someone who is self-isolating, and delivering these supplies to their home.
  • Patient Transport volunteer: This role supports the NHS by providing transport to patients who are medically fit for discharge, and ensuring that they are settled safely back into their home.
  • NHS Transport volunteer: This role involves transporting equipment, supplies and/or medication between NHS services and sites, it may also involve assisting pharmacies with medication delivery.
  • Check-in and Chat volunteer: This role provides short-term telephone support to individuals who are at risk of loneliness as a consequence of self-isolation.
If members of the Motorsport UK community feel fit and well and are able to assist, you can register as an NHS Volunteer Responder through the following link: https://www.goodsamapp.org/NHS
