There are two possible ways in which volunteers can assist
By assisting in carrying out non-personal care tasks to assist people with care and support needs. Such tasks might include
Shopping
Collecting prescriptions
Reassurance by phone
Having a current DBS would allow for a wider range of volunteering options.
The other way to help, is by residents/people looking out for their neighbours who may be in some way or another vulnerable but not in receipt of formal care support.
This might be about supporting people who choose to self-isolate.
This can include looking after an elderly neighbour.
