COVID-19 outbreak: As of 21st March 2022 all major restrictions have been lifted. Our task programme will continue as before.
From 1st April we have significantly increase the number of volunteers permitted in our minibus. While full capacity won't be achieved for a while yet, we hope this will make it easier for you to come on task with us. Face-masks (unless exempt) will continue to be required on our minibus.
Lateral flow testing is no longer generally available. As before, volunteers who are experiencing symptoms should not attend tasks
Our minibus is once again at near full capacity and allows us to transport volunteers to tasks in an efficient (and sociable) way. COVID-19 is still with us and there are a few precautions we still observe, based on guidance for public transport operators. The key points are as follows:
Should you wish to meet us on site instead of using the minibus Our task programme will tell you where and when to meet for the task you have booked.
Volunteers who are in a high-risk group, while very welcome,
should consider carefully the risks they face (or may pose to other volunteers) before using the bus
(and by attending tasks). If you require further
information
our
full policy on use of the minibus includes all the measures to be taken by leaders,
drivers and volunteers.
For day tasks, if you are getting the bus we will usually meet on the north side of St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, at 9.30 a.m. sharp. If we are meeting in another location or time, you will be told after booking your place on the bus.
