These are unsettling times for us all, particularly the most vulnerable in our society. During this time, we should remain cautious and must continue to follow all national and local restrictions as well as ensure we plan activities that are inclusive to all members.
Across each nation – England, Wales and Northern Ireland – laws vary as to what meetings and gatherings can happen. See our coronavirus guidance for the latest legislative rules and what to do if restrictions in your area allow for in-person activities.
As a network, we'll support one another and those in our communities as best we can. If you have any questions or a suggestion on how we can support you, please email [email protected].
