Moray Council's Community Support Unit (CSU) has issued a list of links to organisations who can help with a range of advice and services.

Community support worker Tracey Rae said: "The Community Support Unit appreciate that this is a very challenging time for communities and community organisations.

"There is great work going on out in communities with volunteers helping those who are self isolating, those unable to get essential supplies and those who need support during this difficult time.

"There is a whole range of information online for groups but we have pulled together some key links which we hope volunteers and community organisations will find helpful.

"We hope you all stay safe and well during this time. The CSU team have been advised to work from home for now but are contactable by e-mail or mobile until further notice."
