Glasgow University students offer to help vulnerable amid coronavirus outbreak

Students at Glasgow University are doing their bit to help vulnerable people amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The uni's Students' Representative Council (SRC) volunteer team have developed a postcard which students can print off and post to people around them in the city.

That is if the students themselves are willing and able to help those in their local community.

And that will include picking up shopping, posting mail, urgent supplies or even offering to give people a friendly phone call.

The move has seen them join the #ViralKindness campaign inspired by the example set by Becky Wass in Cornwall, who created a PDF which people can print to help their neighbours as part of a viral kindness campaign for the lonely, isolated or elderly.

They will also have physical postcards on campus from tomorrow, available at various locations, including the SRC Welcome Point and in the University Library.

Brilliant stuff and a great idea!
