https://bikeshedcommunityresponse.com/ Hi all. Hope you are safe and well Not quite sure I am posting in the right forum but I am helping with this and it’s very rewarding, lots of riding potentially involved. Bike Shed is doing great things here and it is going to develop more and more as time goes on as there will be need for many volunteers in different sectors. Have a look, see if it’s something of interest. I am not part of the organisation etc but happy to answer any questions I can. Stay safe folks. Best Michel.
Volunteering is ok as long as no hire and reward takes place. As a precaution I would recommend double checking with your insurers but never been a problem to me with observing etc.
As per ^. FAQs state:- Am I insured? According to the ABI all insurers have pledged to support those doing volunteer work, and you are covered as long as there is no “reward” i.e payment, Most motorcycles insurers have gone further and highlighted their support for our volunteers. There’s more online.
I also signed up ... been ‘on duty’ for over 300 hours and not a single assignment to date. Guess they have plenty of volunteers around here or simply no demand
