volunteer responders programme, set up at the start of the pandemic. today s figures show it s had 436,400 recruits, who ve carried out 1.9 million tasks. that includes 14,5000 lifts to and from hospitals, and more than 800,000 check in and chats on people who are lonely or isolated. hundreds of volunteers will today be at twickenham rugby stadium in london. this is being turned into england s biggest vaccination centre. there s still about one in ten of our population who are older, who haven t been vaccinated and therefore unprotected. so it doesn t really matter which variant it is. they could still get the virus and still become seriously unwell. a separate report from the london school of economics has found the volunteers get a real boost to their sense of well being, equivalent to receiving a bonus of £1,800. duncan kennedy, bbc news.
