Coronavirus (Covid-19) Support for you from NEEACA

Dear members,

We hope you are all keeping well, and that you and your families remain safe.

We feel it is important to keep in touch as the Coronavirus is posing challenges for us all and I know some of us are more affected than others. There has been a lot of information on how to keep safe by the NHS and the government medical advisers. We at NEEACA would like to encourage you all to follow these instructions.

We can totally appreciate the financial concerns and frustrations at this time of uncertainty so our membership subscription has been suspended for 6 months which take us to September 2020. We are currently seeking for funding to help, once successful we will let you know. We will write to you again shortly before then to inform you of any updates.

We would also like to point you to places that help are available across the region.
1) Dynamix is offering food – Contact Rico on 07793 045 420
2) A list of community aid groups listed by area @ https://secretldn.com/uk-community-aid-groups-by-area/
3) Magic Hat Café – 07522 358 058
