MADE4UINML2 Annual Report 20-21

A special mention goes out to the great number of volunteers who supported the
work of MADE4U in the community during the first lockdown especially, with many
of those continuing to support in many ways in an ongoing basis.
In total, at the point of counting, we had partnered with over 70 local people during
the 12 months being reported on. These individuals came from all walks of life, with
many furloughed for a period and looking for ways to contribute. These included
police officers, councillors, teachers, business professionals, bus drivers and more. We
are particularly grateful for our partnership with Coltness High School where a
number of staff members were invited to support MADE4U when schools were
closed.
For a flavour of the types of roles these volunteers undertook, we have listed some
roles below:
Delivering 15,000 Community Response Team leaflets to all homes
in the ML2 postcode area
Collecting and delivering donations (hand sanitiser, bread,
Fareshare)
Driving and assisting daily delivery of emergency food parcels,
shielding boxes, shopping and more
Spending time making befriending and check-in calls
Assisting local families with deliveries of Christmas presents,
Christmas and Scottish Event meals, Winter Fund Parcels and more
Dog walking, grass-cutting, prescription drop-offs and other
practical help
