Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

Oxford Together are receiving 100s of referrals for people in need of help in Oxford during this COVID-19 situation.

They need more people to help match volunteers to tasks and to make phone calls to arrange for volunteers to undertake shopping trips/prescription collections for vulnerable people and those self-isolating.

This is a community mission you will undertake from home, and unusually for GoodGym there may be a cost involved in taking part depending on your phone contract terms, so please be aware of that possibility before signing up.

Guidance on how to match volunteers to tasks will be given by Emma, who as well as being a member of the GoodGym Oxford Task Force is Chief Operating Officer at Oxford Hub.

If you are interested in volunteering an hour or more of your time to make phone calls matching volunteers to tasks in Oxford, please email emma@oxfordhub.org to let her know you are willing to help and your availability.

This Community Mission will be up until 19th April, so sign up if you undertake to help Oxford Hub any time before that date. A new Community Mission will be listed for the same task if it is still needed after 19 April.

PLEASE NOTE you will need to have done the GoodGym COVID-19 training to sign up. It is easy to complete, and only takes a few minutes.

Hi! I'll be gradually contacting a few who signed up to this mission over the coming weeks to ask for a bit of help assigning volunteers to tasks. Those that are already making deliveries thank you - it's brilliant how many prescriptions we are delivering. I'll focus first on the people who can't get out for deliveries to help assign volunteers, and only approach the people running around on deliveries if we're really stretched.
Thanks for the offer of help.
