Lateral Flow Testing Kits available at Volunteer Edinburgh

Now that Covid-19 restrictions are easing, you may be thinking about re-starting services and face-to-face volunteering activities.  Lateral Flow Devices (LFDs) are one of the measures you can put in place to help you resume services safely and with confidence (writes Volunteer Edinburgh Chief Officer PAUL WILSON).

Volunteer Edinburgh is a “distribution centre” for LFDs for small or local voluntary organisations or community groups. 

If you would like some testing kits to distribute to your staff, volunteers or service users  these are available for collection from the Volunteer Edinburgh office at 222 Leith Walk  between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday. 

While we are not operating an appointment system for collection it would be much appreciated if you could call us on 0131 225 0630 to let us know roughly what time you will be coming: as we only have limited staff in the office this will ensure that someone is available to help you when you arrive.

For information on how to use the LFDs please see the Scottish Government guidance HERE and for information on testing, vaccinations and self-isolation support please click HERE
