Outline of their use.

  1. These are ID cards whose primary function is to enable volunteers to do shopping for isolators at the same time as their own shopping and to evidence that they are delivering on behalf of that isolator.

Process to get Badge

  1. Area co-ordinator matches volunteer with an isolator and send details to group co-ordinator.
  2. Group co-ordinator checks if volunteer already on Lowdham Volunteer WhatsApp group and adds if not.
  3. Volunteer posts their photo on WhatsApp (passport type, circa 100KB)
  4. WhatsApp picture picked up around 4pm and badge made that evening. If picture posted after 4pm, then badge available day later.
  5. Badges delivered to 8 The Corner (NG14 7AE – down side of Lowdham Stores).
  6. Volunteer contacted by email / phone.
  7. Volunteer collects and signs badge.

If a volunteer comes forward & is unknown to the area co-ordinator or Lowdham Volunteers we would need a quick security check to verify name & address e.g. drivers licence & we will put last 5 characters of their number (item 5 on the licence) on the database.
