People have become isolated due to the Pandemic and may still not be able to see friends and family. Many people are in need of a simple conversation. If you have just 1 hour a week to spare you could make a huge difference to someone’s life.

Some people have become anxious about going out and are not managing to get to the supermarket, the hairdresser, a coffee shop or even for a walk. They may like to try a new activity, but are anxious about taking those first steps. Could you help someone re-connect with their local community? You might be able go for a walk, or a museum etc.

We are continuing to offer vulnerable Islington residents help with essential shopping and deliveries as a short-term intervention and where there is no other available support. We may be able to help someone who is self-isolating, recently discharged from hospital, is unwell or waiting for shopping services to start. Deliveries can include prescriptions, grocery shopping, foodbank collections and other one-off collections and deliveries within Islington. As delivery volunteer you would need to be able and willing to make deliveries across Islington as required. Access to a car or bike would be useful.
