A helpline is now available for individuals living in South Lanarkshire who are self-isolating and whose usual support network is no longer available.
The helpline will help people to access food and other essential supplies.
Community volunteers are playing a key role in supporting the people around them. This includes helping transport essential goods such as food to people who cannot leave their home, carrying out welfare checks where there was a concern expressed about the wellbeing of someone, and offering telephone befriending to those who are isolated.
The helpline number is 0303 123 1009 and the opening hours are as follows:-
Monday to Thursday 8.45 – 4.45
Friday 8.45 – 4.15
Saturday and Sunday 8.45 – 4.45
South Lanarkshire are also seeking volunteers!
