Adverse Weather - Emergency Help

As the Volunteer Centre for Buckinghamshire, Community Impact Bucks is about to run a recruitment campaign raising awareness of the need for volunteers who would be available to help their neighbours or vulnerable people in their local community in the case of bad weather or other emergency. This might be collecting a prescription, clearing snow or other blockages, delivering essential groceries or simply checking that someone is alright. The recruitment campaign will start in early February and run until the end of March.

To ensure that the best use is made of those who volunteer in response to the campaign we would like to prepare a directory of groups and organisations who provide such emergency support. We will then be able to refer volunteers to a group or organisation in their local area.

If you would like to be included in this directory please contact Joy Johns at Community Impact Bucks 0845 3890389 or send an email  providing the name of your organisation, the area you cover, the services you provide and your contact details.
