OPAL HELPLINE EXTENDED TO ASSIST WITH SHOPPING & PRESCRIPTIONS DURING COVID 19 EMERGENCY

As of Tuesday 31st March the OPAL helpline is now extended so referrals can be made to a new shopping service coordinated by OPAL partner East Dunbartonshire Voluntary Action (EDVA). This voluntary shopping scheme will help those most vulnerable in the community, particularly those self-isolating to get vital deliveries of food and prescribed medication.

The OPAL Helpline number is 0141 438 2347 and the Line will be opened from: 9am to 5pm seven days per week 

OPAL will pass the details of callers requiring assistance with shopping and prescriptions to EDVA who will allocate volunteers to respond through local administrators located throughout the communities of East Dunbartonshire

The volunteers will strive to respond as quickly as possible to make the shopping collections and prescriptions, deliver them and drop them off to the people requiring assistance.​
