Community First is working with key agencies to coordinate the volunteer and community response to the current Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. Working across Hampshire, Community First is working with districts with three clear aims:
- If you require support and advice in this crisis please - email us at support@cfirst.org.uk. We are continuing some of our own services such as Transport, Shopmobility & Wellbeing Service and we will endeavour to put you in contact with your local Community Support.
- Do you want to volunteer? Go to www.volunteerwessex.org. to register your interest
- We are here to support our members. If you have any questions, contact us. We’ll be updating twice weekly. Go to www.cfirst.org.uk/community-first-enews/ to get on our mailing list or email support@cfirst.org.uk
- Tim Houghton, Community First’s CEO, says “We are working with a wide range of agencies and groups to ensure that elderly and vulnerable members of our communities are supported at this difficult time. If you are worried about a neighbour, friend or isolated relative we can signpost you to the local community support that’s available’.
Across our communities we have an army of volunteers coming forward to help those most in need. We want to build on this social action and provide people with the tools to carry on this essential role. If you are coordinating a team of volunteers and would like to offer support please contact us via our website www.cfirst.org.uk and a member of our rapid response team will be in contact with you.
