COVID-19
Our local voluntary organisations are going to be more important than ever in the months to come. We want you to know that Third Sector Leaders Kirklees is here to do everything we can to help.
We are partnering with Kirklees Council on the new co-ordinated community response. Our Volunteering Kirklees team is supporting the new mutual aid groups and voluntary groups who are helping people in their communities, and are supporting existing organisations to recruit emergency volunteers. The rest of our TSL team are here to help if your organisation is experiencing other difficulties due to the current situation.
Find out more about the co-ordinated community response and how to access or offer help.
You can find all the latest news and information HERE
And in particular, we’ve set up specific links to help you find details of:
- emergency support and funding,
- the latest advice, information, links and resources for charities and businesses,
- how other local organisations are dealing with the current crisis
