Coronavirus (Covid-19)Rotary Covid-19 Response Team update
Volunteers for the Rotary Covid-19 Community Response Team have devoted hundreds of hours to helping people self-isolating since the lockdown began.
A total of 129 volunteers are involved with the project, supporting 137 households with errands and providing 23 families with weekly food parcels. Together they have worked more than 400 hours since the scheme began – not including time spent on admin. The project, run under the umbrella of Rotary in Maidenhead, is supported by all of the town’s Rotary clubs and other organisations such as the Louis Baylis Trust, Prince Philip Trust, and Waitrose Community Matters Scheme. Volunteers collect shopping, prescriptions and urgent supplies, post mail, walk dogs or just provide a friendly phone call. Lisa Hunter, project coordinator and member of Maidenhead Bridge Rotary, said: “With many members of our community having to self-isolate this is the perfect opportunity for Rotary in Maidenhead to help those in our local community who might need a little extra support during these difficult times." "People are being told to self-isolate for two weeks and at the end of that we find out that they haven't had any food to eat or friendly support. We want to make sure everybody has got somebody to keep them supplied."
