V olunteers - that are keeping it going W alkinstown Social Service Centre would normally cater for 50 plus members on their premises every day. Members would be offered a 3 course-meal and other care services delivered in a social setting. Since the governments advice on “cocooning” for the over 70’s, the club has had to adjust and they now offer meals on wheels to the members in their own homes delivered by volunteers. This would not be possible without the assistance of volunteers such as Paul Noonan of Switch Distribution and so many others that are taking time out of their busy lives to help during this crisis. #needtokeepitgoing Paul Noonan - Volunteering to help during this COVID-19 crisis.
