Volunteering Guidance (SCVO)

Last modified on 24th March 2020

The volunteering landscape is changing rapidly as organisations develop ways for individuals to safely help others in their communities. Initiatives are being developed at UK, Scottish and local levels – we will include links below to initiatives as we hear about them.

Following the announcements last night from the Prime Minister and First Minister, it is crucial that all staff and volunteers working in the sector follow the current government advice to stay at home wherever possible and strictly limit face-to-face contact. Only services which are essential should be provided in communities. Staff and volunteers should be encouraged to look out for their neighbours, following the advice on safety.

Find Help Near You
If you need medical help, please follow the guidance on the NHS Inform website. Do not go directly to your GP, hospital or other healthcare environment.
Use the search to find organisations that are able to offer non-medical help directly to people below.
If you are an organisation or professional looking for help, use this search instead.
Information on the website is provided by users and is not verified, so please report any incorrect or inappropriate listings, and never give personal or financial details online to someone you don’t know.

UK

Coronavirus Bill
New legislation from the UK Government aimed at tackling the Coronavirus will introduce ‘emergency volunteer leave’, described as a new form of unpaid statutory leave, allowing local authorities to maximise the pool of volunteers they can utilise to fill capacity gaps within health, social care and other key services.
All volunteers will require an Emergency Volunteering Certificate to qualify for the scheme.
The bill includes measures offering additional employment protections and compensation for those volunteering. This will include funding to compensate volunteers for loss of earnings and expenses.
The Bill is expected to be passed on 24 March, and we will post further information here as it becomes available.
