Voluntary Action Angus has received more than £3,000 after being nominated for support by NFU Mutual Forfar agents Jeremy Parker and Rob Beaty to receive a slice of the insurance firm’s national £1 million support fund.
VAA currently has nearly 1,200 volunteers helping Angus residents by delivering shopping, prescriptions and essential telephone befriending services.
More recently they have also been working with local businesses to help people get domestic appliances, such as cookers and fridges, where their old ones had broken down.
Mr Parker said: “We are proud to support the frontline work of Voluntary Action Angus, who have done an incredible job in their response to the coronavirus pandemic.”
VAA deputy chief executive, Hayley Mearns said: “All these things are really important to people during the current situation and it’s great to see such large-scale kindness prevailing in Angus, of which the NFU Mutual funding is an essential part.”
