LEND A HAND: MAKE AN IMPACT EMERGENCY RELIEF AID

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY RELIEF AID FOR THE ELDERLY AND VULNERABLE WITHIN THE NIGERIAN COMMUNITY UK, AFFECTED BY THE ONGOING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

As we are all aware the UK government has asked the elderly (70’s and over) and the vulnerable (those with underlying health conditions) to stay at home for 12 weeks and to have minimal interaction with other people. 
It is in this light that we have decided to help and offer support during this challenging period.
 
What we will provide
 
·     Free shopping of essentials done online & delivered by grocery store to the elderly (70’s and over) and the vulnerable.
·     Making friendly calls to check up on the elderly and the vulnerable to help reduce the impact of this situation in terms of mental health and increased loneliness.  
·     In store free shopping of essentials and doorstep delivery for free to the elderly (70’s and over) and the vulnerable.

Volunteer’s who offer to make deliveries must be between 21– 35 years old with a clean driver’s licence, must have been going out for either personal shopping of essentials or work during this stay at home period and will sign a participation agreement form.  In store shopping will only be done in situations where online shopping hasn’t been possible.
 
 To volunteer and play your part in the support of this worthy cause please contact us on +447940020459, +447462596322, +447539776585 or email admin@nyido.org
 
In order to help those that need to be reached we will appreciate financial donations to support our work and volunteers to shop online, make friendly phone calls nd make doorstep delivery (only where necessary).
