Travel for Volunteering Permitted

Click here for Matt Hancock's clarification on volunteering and caring during the lockdown.


"I want to make it clear that for people who are volunteering in response to covid-19 and those who are caring, even if their responsibilities are unpaid or informal, they are okay to do that and should do that.


They should stay more than 2 metres away from others wherever possible, but that has to be a practical instruction, because of course we need to care for people.


As I said in the statement, travel allows for caring, and I want to make it clear that volunteering in the response to covid-19 is a legitimate reason to travel."
