Request assistance (either for yourself, or for assistance on behalf of someone else that does not have internet access)
This group has been set up by Innerleithen & District Community Council to act as a Community Notice Board and contact point for anyone concerned about Coronovirus in Innerleithen. Anyone needing assistance with shopping etc should message this page and we will try to link them with volunteers.
Aims of the group:-PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
• To provide help with ESSENTIAL errands such as prescriptions and food collection, for people who DO NOT have Corona Virus but are in self isolation.
• This group is to ensure vulnerable people who are self isolating do not unnecessarily come into contact with the virus.
• We are NOT asking people to put themselves at risk by visiting people with confirmed or suspected cases of Covid-19.
• We are NOT asking people to enter vulnerable peoples houses.
• Liaisons between a group member and the person they are helping would be unique on a case to case basis.
• Obvious sanctions would need to be in place such as hand washing and agreeing where to leave food and money and not sharing details of the person you are helping.

This form is for those in our local community who REQUIRE HELP and SUPPORT during the current COVID-19. This will be managed by Innerleithen Community Council and we will match you as much as possible to volunteers near by. The data will be held securely and only be accessed by the Community Council. Your data will not be shared with any other party or organisation. Please only share data that you are happy to be held, your name, address and phone number will be passed onto those who will provide assistance. NOTE: - no volunteer will enter your home so if you require items to be delivered a safe place must be identified to leave the supplies.
