Hi Everyone:
I hope you are all keeping well – and your distance!! Challenging times indeed – and it is clear they are going to get even more challenging.
A few things to report and offer:
Supporting the third sector
We have provided some input into an organisational survey to assess what voluntary organisations need to both keep going and to help respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cumbria Community Foundation (CCF) will be circulating this in the next day or so: please try and give this 10-15 minutes: it will help us make the case for support and also save lives.
Cumbria CVS is involved in Support Cumbria which is an official collaboration of partners across Cumbria who are working together to provide community support to residents and organisations during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Support Cumbria has a central database of potential volunteers in Cumbria who have registered their interest in volunteering for volunteering opportunities during Covid-19.
Support Cumbria has the potential to reach a large number of new volunteers (via the database) and signpost them to Covid-19 volunteering opportunities.
