About us
We are Community Calling
Community Calling connects people in vulnerable situations to a network of local support.
Anyone, from any background, can suddenly find themselves in a situation where they need help. It may be that they can’t leave the house to get their shopping or medication; perhaps they don’t have access to basic needs such as money or food.
The current pandemic shines a spotlight on the problem, but it has always existed and it will continue to exist long after COVID-19. Cuts to basic community services result in many individuals and families struggling to cope.
That’s why we established Community Calling – a network of volunteers who are willing and able to provide support. That may be collecting shopping or medication, arranging a food parcel, or simply providing members of the community with the security of knowing that someone is there for them. We have repurposed enterprise software to match support requests with local volunteers, in minutes.
Since mid-March 2020 we’ve built a network of hundreds of volunteers and community groups, and our support has reached thousands of individuals across Northern Ireland.
