Below is a list of different volunteering opportunities available across our communities to help people affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
Caerphilly Kindness Card scheme
Led by Caerphilly Council, the Kindness Card scheme encourages people to check in with vulnerable neighbours – particularly those with no close family or support network, and to offer any assistance (such as help with shopping, placing bins out for collection, walking pet dogs or just a friendly phone call) that person may require.
‘Together for Cardiff’ uses Cardiff Council’s volunteering portal to advertise volunteering opportunities all in one place.
Cardiff Community Wellbeing team
