We can connect you with someone in need through the NHS Volunteer Responder programme run by the NHS, Royal Voluntary Service and the GoodSAM app.
Could you give up half an hour to make a call to someone feeling isolated?
Or could you volunteer to deliver essential shopping or festive treats? You will be matched with someone in your area.
Go to to sign up as a volunteer.
You will then receive an email taking you through the sign-up process.
Need help?
IF you are someone who would like a friendly call or you need a helping hand with your shopping, just call 0808 196 3646 (8am-8pm, seven days a week).

You will need a smartphone, as you will be asked to download the Volunteer Responder app, which will match you to those in need.
Don’t worry if you don’t get a job straight away, as they are matched according to the need local to you.
Being ready to help is what really matters.
