Winchester Hub are following goverment guidance and staying at home. As a result, Give It A Go is adapting to bring you online volunteering opportunities! Sign up to our Newsletter here to keep up to date with one-off volunteering online events you can get involved in - we have listed some ideas below!

Do a Random Act of Kindness

We want to get people volunteering no matter where they are! And we are hoping to make a community to spread the word and celebrate your good deeds! Take a photo of yourself doing one of these activities, tag Winchester Hub and #RemoteGIAG so we can see what you are up to (Sign up to our GIAG newsletter to keep up to date as the list grows!)

• Do a food shop for someone in self-isolation: whilst you do yours - only go shopping when necessary!
• Checkin with a high risk individual: Do you know someone in your neighbourhood who is high risk? Why not knock on their door and post a card to them asking how they are doing?
• Create a Carepackage for a high risk individual: Things you might include is a book you think they would like, a boardgame or cards you want to have a second home, some food (snacks, pasta), candles, DVDs and a letter from you saying good luck!
• Sign a petition: Check out Change.org
• Do a different social action and tag us in it to show us what you did (please see government guidance here to ensure your social action is being done safely)
