The value of a volunteer – why we need 11,000 to sign up now 

Being a volunteer is regarded highly in the community. As it is an effective way to contribute to society and help impact and make a real difference where needed. 

Digital I.D – only active when on volunteering shift 

When you sign up as a volunteer you receive a digital I.D to access donated Looprun resources from stores. 

When there was a lockdown volunteers were able to support people and be out and about. Also, volunteers were able to avoid the queues and go straight to the front as a priority to pick up. 

Sustainable Volunteer

This means volunteers get priority access i.e. to food so that even their household does not lack. 

RSBA1 – get supported when needed

If you as a volunteer need support for yourself or an elderly relative, or someone that is self-isolating you can get access to RSBA1 (Response, Sustain, Build, Achieve) a free supportive service platform to help people get back on their feet and create a sustainable loop cycle. 

This benefit to you is huge as no one knows what is around the corner. It is always better to come to an all in one solution to signpost you to help fulfil your needs. That will have a wider impact starting from yourself to household and community.

Volunteering online 

Volunteers are valuable and you can also participate by contributing online or join by subscribing to also help impact the community if unable to be active. This in turn helps with purchasing of essential resources and also deliveries to help reach people in need. 

 

Real Volunteer impact 

As a volunteer, you will be put on a priority list to ensure you get access to food resources. Therefore your family, friends, and neighbours can be part of Looprun to Door.

Having at least one volunteer within your family is better than none. This means you will be able to help out in any crisis situation. 

Volunteering will also be a benefit to your circle of people you know. 

In the lockdown, we found a lady who said that she contacted her borough but there was no response. She found our website and got in touch. Looprun responded and when we got to the door she was severely underweight and could barely lift the bags. So a volunteer was able to impact this critical situation.
