Survey for Clare community groups on response to Covid-19
Clare PPN and Clare Volunteer Centre are working together to make the best uses of our resources during this Covid-19 outbreak.
We are fully aware that community and voluntary groups in County Clare provide essential services to vulnerable people in our communities and that many of the people who provide these services are already working at full capacity.
We are conducting a survey of community groups so that we can see where voluntary support might be needed over the coming weeks and months.
We would really appreciate it if you could complete the short survey at the link below, as soon as possible, to let us know who you are currently serving in the county and what your organisation might need in terms of supports.
