How this cause brings people in the community together
Coronavirus put a stop to our clients volunteering, and with it came a massive impact on their health and wellbeing. We have huge concerns about the myriad of challenges they will face as they return to volunteering. Buddying is a simple, collaborative and practical solution to not only help more volunteers return, but to also provide financially stretched charities with much needed support.
