Details of a single point for contact to help prioritise offers from businesses to help tackle the coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency. This document is part of a collection
Many businesses and other organisations are offering support for the ongoing effort to tackle the coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency. We have established a single point for contact to help prioritise these offers and direct them to where they will have most impact.
The need for support is varied but key areas might include manufacturing, medical equipment and supplies, infrastructure, transport and distribution.
How to offer support
Businesses, third sector or voluntary organisations who wish to offer support should email covid19response@gov.scot with details such as:
- Your organisation’s key contact and their role
- What you are offering and how it might be best applied
- How quickly your support could be available
- Whether you are offering this as a donation or a chargeable service
We will reply as quickly as possible.
