🎥 Question about local volunteer groups

  • Tweet
Tuesday, 24 March, 2020

Jason asked the Health Secretary if local volunteer groups should continue providing vital services during the social distancing measures.

Jason McCartney MP

I, too, praise the Secretary of State and his wonderful team for their heroic efforts in fighting this killer virus. Will he confirm that volunteers such as those in the Holme Valley Covid Mutual Aid group, who are providing shopping services, delivering food parcels, picking up prescriptions, posting mail and dog walking, should continue to supply those services for their community, in a safe way?

Matt Hancock MP

Yes, they should. They should stay 2 metres away from other people, wherever possible, but we are actively encouraging the voluntary effort in support of covid-19 and we actively support it.
