Virtually Together, bringing skills of volunteers together with charities
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic we are supporting Communiteer’s Virtually Together campaign which is running for 6 months from May to November 2020. This campaign uses digital technology to tackle isolation.
In our experience, two things usually happen during a crisis, and this pandemic has really heightened these issues:
- People become isolated, and those already isolated are more so;
- Charities become overwhelmed by the disruption, affecting the delivery of vital services.
The campaign is helping to bring the skills of volunteers together with charities that are on the frontline dealing with those who are increasingly isolated at this time of social distancing and travel restrictions. This includes people in aged care facilities, people with disabilities, migrants and refugees and those with mental health issues.
