A community and volunteer hub has been set up across Nottinghamshire to create a support network that all residents can access during the Covoid-19 pandemic.
Nottinghamshire County Council has coordinated the hub, which can be accessed here.
It said: “There are a number of local volunteer groups offering help if you are staying at home and self-isolating; the hub will allow you can find support available in your local area.
“What’s more, if you are responsible for a community group, faith group, charity, parish or town council and are not listed yet you can add your details.
“Our hub is a work in progress and will be updated regularly, so keep checking back for updates and developments.”
As well using the website to see what services are being offered in local areas, such as Mansfield, Ashfield and Newark and Sherwood, people can call a customer service centre on 0300 500 8080, from 8.30am-5.30pm, Monday to Friday.
The council added: “If you are responsible for a community group, faith group, charity, parish or town council and are not listed but are planning to support people who are self-isolating, we would like to hear from you.
“Please email enquiries@nottscc.gov.uk including ‘Volunteering’ in the subject line, or call 0300 500 8080, and be ready to provide the following information:
Your name / organisation.
Contact details – postal, telephone and email address.
