COVID-19 - Information
Updated 5/11/2020
From the beginning of the first lockdown we continued to support our clients by operating a remote service.
For the last 4 months we were able to successfully operate an on-site service for all our clients and are very pleased and relieved to say we didn't have any COVID cases in clients or staff.
Everyone was extremely careful to follow the strict COVID secure measures in place and we thank staff and clients for this. In addition with the support of Ukie Toones, a Lottery Grant, other donors and our investment, 2 beautiful cabins provided the additional space needed to operate and keep separate our "bubbles".
However, in light of the latest lockdown, we have taken the difficult decision to return to a remote delivery service for the next 4 weeks from Monday 9th November.
Many of our clients fall into the Extremely Vulnerable or Vulnerable categories. Many of them and their parents/carers were anxious over making the right decision of whether to attend. Our main aim is always to do what's right for our clients, their families and our staff. We believe this is currently the best way for everyone's health and wellbeing. In addition we feel it is the right thing to do at this time for the wider community, reducing the potential for the virus to spread. As Boris says...Stay Home, Stay Safe.
Our staff will continue to work and support everyone. Our remote service will include delivery of activity packs telephone calls and daily Zoom sessions so everyone can chat and keep connected.
Watch out on our Facebook page for details of what everybody is up to.
Take care everyone.
