Coronavirus volunteers and offers of support


Thank you for considering helping during the Coronavirus pandemic. The generosity of our volunteers is making a big difference to many hundreds of people in Nottinghamshire. We would love to hear from you if:

  • you are an individual, community group, faith group, charity, parish or town council wanting to support people in your local community
  • you are an individual or organisation wanting to support local authority or wider county initiatives through the provision of specialised or commercial products and services including:
    • professionally qualified staff inc those with translation skills
    • the use of buildings as potential storage and distribution
    • bulk food supply.

Inspire Libraries are now offering a click and collect home delivery service. If you are an existing volunteer who is able to help with the collection, delivery and return of library books, please amend and update your details

If you would like to register as a new volunteer, please complete this form.

You can read about the new Click and Collect and Home Delivery services here.

 

Important note for commercial businesses
The Nottinghamshire Coronavirus Community Support Hub has been set up as a response to the COVID-19 outbreak. As such, we will only consider including your business details in the database if you are providing a service outside of your normal ‘business as usual’ activity. For example, if you are a commercial business offering a 'flexed' commercial service or a delivery service which was not available prior to the outbreak, then please complete the web form. 

Next Steps

Complete the Volunteering to support during the Coronavirus outbreak online form.

Please note: If you wish to provide support in both ways outlined above, please complete a separate form for each option.

Please read the guidelines for volunteers during the Coronavirus outbreakMore detailed guidance on operating a group during the Coronavirus outbreak is available along with some formation on safeguarding awareness and an example risk assessment template. The risk assessment template is available for you to download and  you can then adapt this for your group.

You may also wish to view the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) pages which have updated guidance and resources to support charities, voluntary organisations and volunteers during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Minimum volunteer age

We are only able to register your offer of support if you are over the age of 16. 

Individuals wanting to volunteer

If you wish to register as an individual then, in the first instance, we would encourage you to join a national or local charity, or community group. However, we recognise that there is still an important role for individual volunteers and would welcome your application. To become an individual volunteer, you will need to provide a satisfactory reference, read and agree to adhere to the guidance that will be sent to you, and go through a process to verify your identification.
