Volunteers
Dartmouth Caring is co-ordinating volunteers to deliver two essential services during the COVID-19 outbreak, specifically:
- food shopping and/or prescription collection and delivery for those unable to do so themselves (e.g. due to self-isolating)
- telephone befriending, to help those struggling with a lack of social contact.
