Moorlands MP, Karen Bradley is asking local residents to volunteer to help elderly residents and people having to self-isolate.
Karen has posted a video and a link to https://reserves.redcross.org.uk/ on her facebook page with details of the Community Reserve Volunteer program run by the Red Cross who are developing a network of people ready to help out during an emergency in their local community.
Karen is also encouraging local people to print out the #viralkindness postcard on her facebook page, created by Becky Wass, a lecturer in Cornwall and deliver it to elderly neighbours who may be in need of help.
Karen said,
“Everyone is obviously really concerned about COVID-19 and it is important that we come together as a community and make sure that our elderly and more vulnerable residents know that they have support.”
