In order for us to continue our important work , we have had to make changes to our processes in order to provide a basic level of support to those in need whilst adhering to our updated COVID-19 H&S guidelines.
These changes had to cut our twice weekly social gatherings and the interaction we would normally have when handling deliveries and donations due to social distancing guidelines. This is to protect people donating, volunteers and our service users.
The government is allowing us to continue with our work based on current legislation and our process changes .
