Hi all. Currently, I believe I have COVID-19. I've had mild flu-like symptoms and I am recovering. Once out of isolation I'll be one person who can go around offering help.

I shall be calling my supervising officer and offering my services. Yes, I have a conviction of looking at pictures, but come on... does that really make me a really bad person?

NO IT DOESN'T!!!!!

I have a heart of gold and I made a big mistake. However, haven't I had justice served upon me and have a future.

So to everyone who has a conviction - why don't we offer our help to those in the community subject to our "supervisors" permission?

Could this not show those who keep an eye on us that we can be good citizens again?

I'm going to try my best!

Keep well and stay safe everyone.

Morning every one, 

there is a positive out come to the NHS National volunteering program run by the Royal voluntary service, 

I am set up and ready to start next week when the system goes live.

i received a FAQ last night, they are only running an enhanced DBS on the role of patient transport, all other roles are not being DBS and there is no question on application form about criminal convictions.

all you require to sign up is proof of I’d like passport or driving licence.

just thought I would update you all

all the best and stay safe 

Many thanks for the confirmation and I will apply for a non driving role.
