How you can help

 

In response to the Government’s guidance on the Coronavirus pandemic, LEAP has today, 18 March, started a new personal shopper service for some of the most vulnerable people in South Lanarkshire.

​

Our volunteers will be delivering essential shopping, power card and mobile top ups and prescriptions for FREE to residents in most areas of South Lanarkshire who are self-isolating and are:

• Aged 50-70 with underlying health conditions;

• Aged 70 plus with or without underlying health conditions; AND

• Do not have support from friends or family at this time

 

This service will be available in 18 communities across South Lanarkshire.

​

By using LEAP’s service customers can be sure of their safety. We will do this by:

• Using our 27 years of experience of working with older adults;

• FREE delivery to eligible customers;

• All staff and volunteers are Disclosure Scotland checked;

• All staff and volunteers will use precautions to ensure we do not pass on infection; and

• Payment of your goods will be on delivery of service, with no up-front charges.

 

LEAP is not funded to do this, nor will it make any profit – the service is free. But our volunteers who will do the shopping for vulnerable people will be paid expenses.

​

We need your help to keep this vital service going. Please give whatever you can to help us reach – or even pass – our target of £10,000 to help us pay of volunteers’ expenses and help with our running costs.

​

No matter the size of your donation - as one supermarket might say - every little will help.

​

Thank you.​
