The Ready Scotland website has recently been refreshed and sets out how to get help and
also how to give help to your neighbours, friends and family. Informal neighbourly support for
others - especially those in need - will continue to be critical throughout the winter. For those
without digital access, support can be sought from the National Assistance Helpline on 0800 111 4000. Our message to anyone who feels they need help is please do ask - a
range of services are standing by to help in whatever way they can.

​Helpful resources to support the wellbeing of volunteers and others are also available from Lifelines Scotland. Lifelines is a resource for volunteers and others, including managers, and explains what protects individuals in their work or volunteering role and how they can stay well,
cope with stress and boost their resilience. It also has information on how to be a supportive colleague and where to access advice should individuals or their families need more help.
