How to get help for yourself or someone you know
Volunteer for us

After the Covid-19 Pandemic started in 2020 Help on Your Doorstep recruited over 60 volunteers to help with urgent essential deliveries of food and befriending people who were isolated due to shielding, self isolation and lockdown. These volunteers made a real difference to people’s lives - whether they supported one person or many. Now we are moving to a new phase, needs are changing and we need new volunteers.
