How long have we been in quarantine? It’s hard to tell now, isn’t it? Days blend into weeks blend into months.
If, like me, you’re sick of sitting at home and watching front-line workers risk their lives day in, day out, you might be wondering how you can help. Hell, even if you can’t help with the immediate issues that the COVID-19 pandemic has created, wouldn’t it be nice to feel like we were helping someone, somewhere?
The good news is that even while we are all socially distant, there are quite literally hundreds of opportunities to do good from the safety of your home.
I understand that things are tough financially for many of us. That’s why I haven’t included any donation links in this list. Every cause I’ve listed can be donated to in terms of your time, skills and patience. From crafting for front line workers to monitoring webcams for scientific research and lending your sight for visually-impaired people, there are ways you can help without reaching into your wallet.
(Note that most of these organisations are either UK or internationally based.)
