Our amazing volunteers are stepping up across the country to support their local community.
A volunteer in Spalding has set up a coronavirus support team of 35 volunteers who are collecting shopping and prescriptions for vulnerable people in their local area. Meanwhile, our Histon peer support group is supporting the parish council volunteer network initiative to make sure every household in the village has been leafleted, and every street has a volunteer ambassador. They're even available for shopping, a friendly chat and dog walking!
