Across Ireland Cocooning volunteering groups are popping up around the country to help the over 70s in their community. Henry McKean met Cocooners from a 2 metre distance with the Self Isolating Skerries Volunteer Group, They help cocooners with shopping, meals on wheels and prescription collection. Henry went out and about with them.
Henry McKean's mum Rosemary also is cocooning. If you are cocooning and you live in the  Skerries area call the Self Isolating Skerries Volunteer Group on 085 81 28 509 or check out your local town or village Facebook page to find your Cocooning Group.
