Covid 19 Resilience Aberdeen is coordinating Aberdeen’s response to the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak and is particularly ensuring older and the most vulnerable people get the help and support they need. We are urgently seeking volunteers to help keep people safe and inside their homes during this crisis. If you are fit and healthy with no underlying health conditions and you are under 70 years old, then your neighbours need you! Now, more than ever before we need to stay connected in our communities and look after one another. >Can you help? We are looking for volunteers to help people living in your own neighbourhood who are unable to leave their homes and have no-one else to help them. This could mean doing things for your neighbours like • Picking up prescriptions • Picking up small amounts of local groceries • Posting mail • Urgent necessities • Making a friendly phone call. All volunteers would have a Neighbourhood coordinator who they could contact for help, support and advice and we would ask that volunteers keep themselves safe by keeping up to date with current advice which can be found on the web sites below. You would not be expected to enter anyone’s home, take any money or other type of payment, this service is free to the person who needs it and goods would be left on the person’s doorstep. If you can help in any way please email communities@aberdeencity.gov.uk All help makes a real difference and will be greatly appreciated, *Please keep updated with the official government public announcements and information at: 1. www.gov.scot/coronavirus-covid-19/ 2. www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public 3. https://scvo.org.uk/support/covid-19/resources

WaterAid enables the world's poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. These basic human rights underpin health, education and livelihoods and form the first, essential step in overcoming poverty. We work with local partners who understand local issues and we provide them with skills and support. This empowers them and local communities to set up and manage practical and sustainable projects that meet communities real needs. We also campaign locally and internationally, to change policies and practice, and to ensure water and sanitation's vital role in reducing poverty is recognised. During the current COVID 19 pandemic and for the foreseeable future there will be no face-to-face WaterAid talks. Applicants will be asked to complete the Volunteer Speakers ONLINE training course and will stay at home and comply with COVID19 containment requirements until the crisis is over. However, during the crisis many schools are arranging activities for their students via Microsoft Teams, Skype and other applications to complement students’ home-schooling during COVID19. Our Speaker Network has made our PowerPoint presentations available for teachers to download. If applicants know how to use Microsoft Teams or Skype with slides and would like to deliver webinars to schools and organisations, they should let us know when they apply. Training and excellent support is provided to all volunteers. *People can express interest to volunteer at https://www.wateraid.org/uk/get-involved/volunteering/volunteer-as-a-wateraid-speaker after which they will be sent an application form to complete. *If you have any questions or for more details please email Speakers@wateraid.org .
