HelpAround is a live directory for Volunteer Responders in Northern Ireland, that matches willing volunteers with people in need, designed specifically with the COVID-19 outbreak in mind. Our mission is to facilitate sustainable, efficient assistance in this stressful time:
The service is available to all, including independent, isolating people who do not want to register with a helping organisation.
The service is accessible to all, free from most of the barriers of complex technology and is available through SMS text on your mobile.
Our upcoming upgrade, due on Sunday 26th April, will allow official charities and other groups to seamlessly interlock their governance and safeguarding policies into the HelpAround directory service. This feature will deliver optimal value to the citizens of Northern Ireland in their efforts to help eachother through the Covid-19 crisis.
The directory is for anyone in the Northern Ireland, who either wants to help those isolating, or is isolating and in need of help, during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Use it because it's the most efficient way to coordinate and sustain the good intentions of local volunteers, in order to protect those in our communities who are in the high-risk categories. You may be able to offer help and later be in need of help yourself, if your own household has to isolate.
If you are a person in need or a volunteer willing to help others, join us.
www.HelpAround.co.uk is a live directory for Volunteer Responders across Northern Ireland. It automatically matches volunteers with isolating people in need, to collect shopping and medication, transport people, transport equipment or chat to those feeling lonely. The directory is also accessible to those less connected online, via SMS text. HelpAround streamlines and sustains assistance to those in need.
The decision to setup HelpAround.co.uk was taken on Sunday 15th, and we launched in beta on Friday 27th March.
We have the core functionality in place, that connects individuals, quickly and easily. See our roadmap to see the new functionality to be added over the coming weeks.
