Mike in Cumbria, (post 171) that is fantastic that you have signed up to be one of thousands of NHS volunteers! People who have come forward like you will no doubt have a massive impact on easing the burden which is now being placed on the NHS and this will help us all. Thank you to you and all the other wonderful volunteers who have come forward to meet this crisis.
This website below gives info on how to sign up and what tasks might entail if anyone else might be interested and able to do it. As this appeal has been so successful it is now hoped to reach an even bigger target of 750,000.

I am so glad for you Carol, that your son is home. I can imagine how much of a relief this will be.
