COVID-19 - UPDATE                                    

Following some of the most challenging months we have ever faced, our staff are gradually returning to work. We are pleased that some of our family support projects are back up and running, but we still have a long way to go until we can be running at full strength once again.

Without YOUR help, we could never have made it through the first stages of this pandemic, and we cannot THANK YOU enough!  Now, as the furlough scheme comes to an end, we hope that you will continue to support us through the next stages of the pandemic and the new challenges that lay ahead. 

Please continue sharing, fundraising and donating to help us through this tough time. You can support us by arranging your own fundraising activity, taking on a virtual challenge, making a one-off or monthly donation, sharing our social media posts and looking at the activities on the 'Get Involved' page.

Ways to support us during the pandemic...

Leave a Legacy
