#Volunteering is critical to the nation's coronavirus response as well as the sustainability of many volunteer-involving organisations. The announcement of a national #lockdown means another shift in how we #volunteer. Here are the basics

Yes, you can still go outside to volunteer or help out your neighbours, but:- only where your volunteering activity cannot be done from home, and
- you / your household is free of coronavirus symptoms and hasn't tested positive recently
Safety first! Workplaces should be COVID-secure and you should follow the rules on washing hands
, wearing a face covering
, and social distancing
.
Voluntary and charitable activities are exempt from restrictions on travel and group size. This means people can:
travel to volunteer or while volunteering
meet in groups of any size indoors or outdoors while volunteering
People who are clinically extremely vulnerable to the effects of the virus should only volunteer from home 
Other clinically vulnerable people (aged 60+ / pregnant/ underlying health conditions) should follow the same rules as everyone else but minimise contact with others
