Andy Newman: Good Neighbours Volunteer

Good Neighbours volunteer Andy talked to us about what tasks he has carried out so far during the COVID-19 crisis and why he decided to volunteer with VODA.

We also received this amazing feedback from one of Andy’s beneficiaries…

” I just wanted to say a big thank you for my food package. I am extremely grateful.I have been self isolating for over 4 weeks now as I have many underlying health conditions. I live alone and this is the first bit of help I’ve received. You have brightened my week. Please thank the gentleman who delivered it.”
