local helpers

Lambeth Larder has teamed up with Local Helpers, the tech-for-good volunteer collective.
They've  created this brilliant tool to connect you with volunteers and other support, if you need it. You can use it to sign up as a volunteer too!
HOW IT WORKS:
  • If you are a vulnerable person, sign-up and forward your details to local support agencies that can help you.
  • Are you self-isolating? Sign-up and Local Helpers can connect you with a registered volunteer, your nearest Mutual-Aid group or other support.
  • Sign-up to volunteer using the Local Helpers tool.
