I completed my first task as part of the NHS Volunteer Responders programme with the Royal Voluntary Service.

I rang an isolated person, referred by their Local Authority to check in and have a chat to make sure they were managing ok.

They weren’t able to get out at all. Thankfully they were well supported and had everything that they required.

The NHS Volunteer Responders programme ensures that people can be referred for extra support such as help with shopping or picking up prescriptions.
