4 DONATE BLOOD
It may seem counter-intuitive, but if you’re still feeling fit and healthy, you can absolutely still give blood during this time. In fact, it is essential that people keep donating blood in order to save lives. If you’re unsure about whether you are eligible to give blood at the moment, you can check online at blood.co.uk
3 SUPPORT LOCAL,
INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES A lot of local businesses are struggling during this time, since
many people are self-isolating and social distancing themselves to avoid catching or spreading coronavirus. But there are still ways you can help! You can order takeaways from local restaurants, or purchase vouchers to use at Cambridge shops and eateries at a later date. By shopping local, you can help independent businesses stay afloat.
5 HELP YOUR NEIGHBOURS It can be easy to think only of your own friends and family at this time, but there are lots of people in your local area who are self-isolating without any support. Some people, especially the elderly, are not able to access the resources available online, but you can still let them know that you can help. Forms, like the one below, can be printed off, filled in and delivered to neighbours who may be struggling to cope during self-isolation. Letting people know you’re there if they need you can make all the difference.
