See below this new initiative being run by partners across the city with details of how you can get involved.
On this page you can find a number of different options for volunteering so that you can help those less fortunate than you as the coronavirus outbreak escalates.
The Plymouth Good Neighbours scheme will see the Council join forces with community groups and charities across the city to provide a central place for people to put their hat in the ring to help. We’ll be updating our page regularly as more and more groups get in touch with us.
We’ll collect names and skillsets and then help groups by distributing volunteers with the right skills to right places at the right time, directly and through the many great voluntary sector organisations in the city, and key partners such as the Plymouth Octopus Project and Our Plymouth.
We fully expect to redeploy people from all over the council to help answer phones, to guide people through this incredibly difficult time and to help deliver services to people’s doors.
But we’ll also need the goodwill of residents to help us.
Thank you so much for getting involved.
