Keep an eye out for June’s E-Newsletter, beautifully edited by Danielle later this week – lots of information, Carers Week news, Carers Academy workshops and activities for the month of June and much more…
Keep well, wear a mask where possible, physically distance yourself when you can, and as I always say when offered the vaccine take it, I have had both my doses and feel better for it and my anxiety has greatly decreased.
