How can I help look after others?
Unless you are an essential worker, the best way you can help others is by staying home and helping people from there.
Kindness is an incredibly powerful way to show you are united against COVID-19. You can make a huge difference by talking to people over the phone or online:
- Checking in on older relatives or vulnerable people to make sure they have everything they need.

These kinds of connections and offers of help will go a long way to getting others through COVID-19.
