Dundee Volunteer and Voluntary Action are taking referrals for older people who may be at risk of undernutrition as a result of the current situation who could benefit from a home cooked meal and some additional support.  
 
As a result of calls to the Dial OP helpline and discussion with partner organisations, a number of older people were identified at risk of malnourishment, who were for multiple reasons struggling to cook for themselves and needing a little extra support to help them to eat well as a result of Covid-19.  
 
If you would like to refer an older person who is struggling to eat well as a result of Covid, please contact Jordan Ward on jordanward@dvva.scot or 0798 370 6626 no later than Thursday weekly to establish if support can be provided.

Carers Trust has launched a survey to find out how young carers aged from 12 up to 25 have been affected by Coronavirus, and what support they need.
 
The findings of the survey will help influence decision makers to give young carers and young adult carers the support they need.
 
Can you help young carers and young adult carers by adding your voice and filling out the survey? And please spread the word with your friends who are also young carers to make sure as many people as possible take the survey.
 
The survey is live and will run up to 23 June.

Tell us what you want

Due to changes with lockdown, we are keen to hear from people who are watching our Facebook Live session of what they want to see on future Virtual Hubs and how often. We have created a very quick survey monkey that we will share on SM and in the newsletter. Please feel free to share this link with people you are working with.
