Hi all! We hope you are well.

As we move through September, we have been able to deliver more face to face groups, all be it with restrictions. Nevertheless, we are over the moon to be able to provide a new timetable.

We will be keeping a close eye on Government Guidelines to ensure your safety whilst engaged with our groups and will be sure to notify you immediately of any changes to this timetable.

However, as it stands, we are confident to be able to continue to provide face to face groups under the current guidelines and we do apologise for the strict conditions as will be announced with every group reminder (this may include wearing face masks, temperature checks, hand sanitiser on entry including after breaks, no refreshments or refreshments made for you, filling in a track and trace document, chairs 2m apart and a limit on numbers of group members at any one time).

We ask for your understanding regarding these restrictions and we can work with each of you to make these work (eg. Leave details on track and trace when entering public buildings so we can identify you whilst not necessarily breaking your confidentiality).

We look forward to seeing you all. Take extra care of yourselves and of each other.

During lockdown we have been holding our Art sessions via zoom (March-July 2020) some of our group members have been amazingly creative with some of the weekly themes we had. Here are just a few examples of their work.

01/06/2020

Good morning all! We hope you are well.

Today the lockdown guidelines are being relaxed and we are moving into phase two. This means we are able to meet in private outdoor spaces with up to 6 family members of another house hold whilst ensuring social distancing measures are in place. However those who are shielding are advised to continue to do so.

This also means that outdoor markets and car showrooms will be allowed to start trading again in England. Along with early year pupils, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 returning to school in smaller sizes.

If this goes as we all hope, non-essential shops such as those that sell clothing and furniture will beguin to re-open on the 15th of June.

We are still uncertain of what this means for our groups and drop-in’s so for now, we will continue to run these via ZOOM. As soon as we are clear on how to safely return to normal, we will let everyone know.

For now, please continue to take extra care of yourselves and of each other. We hope to see you soon 🙂🌈🌺
