A KIND-hearted volunteer has decided to help vulnerable residents self-isolating due to the coronavirus by supplying one thing...
Loo rolls.
Neil Harkness from Bracknell, who owns a cleaning company stocked up with toilet rolls, felt angered after seeing how many elderly residents were left without food and basic needs because of people stock piling.

The business owner reached out to the public on a local Facebook page and the response he has received has been 'eye opening'.
He said: "It is pathetic and inexcusable, it is just a sad time for everyone at the moment with people stock piling, I saw so many people saying they were struggling to get everyday essentials such as toilet rolls, pasta etc.
"I appreciate that not everyone can [go to the shops], especially the sick and the elderly, so I thought I could give some away to someone that needed them as we have enough to get by with."
Neil offered a woman who lives in Bracknell a pack of 15 loo rolls to help her grandmother.

She asked if Neil could help as her grandmother has bowel cancer and they could only get hold of a pack of four toilet rolls.
Mr Harkness didn't take any money from them, despite a pack costing £14.
He said: "I took no money for them as I was just happy to help someone that really needed them, it’s just nice to be nice in these very unusual circumstances we all find ourself in at the moment."
