We've had lots of community groups set up to help those that are shielding with shopping, prescriptions etc. There's plenty of constructive and rewarding opportunities if you look.

You could look into voluntary work?

I could do. but charity shops are all shut.

During the first furlough I volunteered to deliver prescriptions for my local surgery. I did it every week day for nearly 4 months. Might be worth asking yours.

I belong to one of those. It was quite busy in the first lockdown but there’s far fewer jobs coming in now.

Do you not have a local council convid team who are helping people out with shopping, collecting prescriptions etc?

Absolute joke - everyone on furlough should be made to undertake community service work, including picking up litter and dog poo, filling in pot holes, cutting back hedges - in fact anything that will help councils save money moving forward. 

Posts like this are an absolute insult to those who actually do a proper day's work at the moment! And yes, I am very jealous...
