COVID-19 UPDATE
With the new lockdown news comes some evolution on the guidance for charities such as ours since the March lockdown. A lot was learned during the last national lockdown. It is vital for the vulnerable members of our community that those who need us, are able to access our services. Many need us now more than ever.
In line with government guidance, we remain partially open as an essential care provision for vulnerable adults.
For school age children, in consultation with our Education Coordinator, we are contining to offer a ‘Virtual Farm’. This is a remote learning experience giving children the option of experiencing their Farm Sessions as part of their classroom-based or alternative home-based education. We are also maintaining weekly virtual contact with our adult clients who have been advised to shield.
We have worked quickly to find suitable options that are accessible to all and would like to thank the community for the continued support of our endeavours in the pandemic.
Finally, we had our offices and communal areas 'fogged' again with Virus Shield on 12 February 2021, which gives us protection for a further 90 days.
Please do come to us if you have any questions or concerns and we will help you in any way we can.
With our best wishes
