    Looks like there has been an excellent response. As a construction worker, im still having to go out there, not out of choice i will admit. well done to all those who have signed up.

    Anyone else live on this yet?

    I've noticed it scans roughly an 800m radius around me, I'm guessing they tested this in urban areas. In more rural setting it looks like my housing estate in Tidworth has about a dozen people covering just the estate but a village behind us has nobody despite it being a 3 minute drive away.

    The 2 people within 800m of our gp surgery must be getting hammered

    Yeah, if you follow the original link to volunteer after they verify your identity you download and login to an app they are using. Its basically a map showing "On duty", volunteers. I was watching my icon though and after a while it started showing me casting a search bubble in and out which only spread 800m.

    Not sure if everyones will be identical the app encompasses all 4 volunteer types. I'm down for 2 so what i see may vary to others.

    As far as I can see it makes no difference who is in government they will all cut services as much as they can. Our bloodbike group is celebrating its 30th year this year and at no point with any government in that time has it been thought ' we don't need to do this anymore as the NHS can cope'. Insread of armchair politics get out and help out.

    That’s a good thought provoking read mate. Well worth taking the time it takes to digest it.

    Very interesting read, as has been said, very thought provoking.
