Community Support - Week 6

Sunday again and we've got more sunshine! Hope you’ve all had a good week, all things considered! ☀️

Here’s what we (and you) have achieved this week:

💙 176 requests for support

💙 154 Active and willing volunteers

💙 317 Meals delivered

💙 282 cards issued to volunteers to write hand written notes to members of our community

💙 1 incredibly sweet hand painted stone with a message of hope left outside Thurso Youth Club

💙 1 Birthday cake delivered to a special person in our town.

💙 Countless mentions on an STV local lifelines advert

Our admin team is made up of volunteers, Development Trust staff and board members. The admin team are those who talk directly to the people who request support and make arrangements to dispatch one of the 135 volunteers to run errands. We're a friendly bunch and love a natter so do call in on 01847 867050 and we'll do our best to help.

Each week, we’re celebrating folk from the volunteer group who are up for a selfie and some facebook recognition! This week, we’re celebrating Clare from the admin team. Clare works with North Highland College UHI and we have no doubt that if you could get a PhD in efficiency, she would have one! We're lucky to have her on board. Clare, Lindsay and Donna (mentioned in previous shout outs) have created a foolproof prescriptions pick up system which we know is appreciated by so many.

We've updated the Coronavirus Updates page again this week with the very latest information and if you’d like to make a financial contribution, you can do so here.

Thank you all for your support to date, the feedback from the commuity has been wonderful.
