Coronavirus (Covid-19) Volunteer Groups

Through this page we are sharing details of the amazing support available to our more vulnerable residents and inviting others to register to offer more support to those residents.  If you know of other groups offering support, please get them in touch so that we can include their details here. 

Submit details of your organisation, the services you can offer and the areas you can cover via our Community Volunteer Groups online form

• Individuals can get involved and volunteer. You can use the website:  https://www.volunteeressex.org/news/essex-coronavirus-action/ or get in touch with one of the many groups in our area listed below
• If you are a volunteer group and need to DBS check your volunteers: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/disclosure-application-process-for-volunteers

If you need to contact the volunteer group liaison team for Tendring District Council, please email volunteergroups@tendringdc.gov.uk

The NHS Volunteer Responders can support you with collecting shopping, medication or other essential supplies (if your friends and family cannot collect them for you); a regular, friendly phone call which can be provided by different volunteers each time or by someone who is also shielding and will stay in contact for several weeks; and transport to medical appointments.

Please call 0808 196 3646 between 8am and 8pm to arrange support or speak to your health case professional for transport support. A carer or family member can also do this on their behalf. More information is available at the NHS Responders website, where you can also volunteer yourself.
