An update from us
For most of us, it’s been months of lockdown and social distancing and as we all know and are feeling the future is still very much unknown. I hope my e-mail finds you well and that you are managing at this uncertain time. As a team (employee’s, volunteers and our trustee’s) we are planning for our return to the office, working through what we need to put in place to ensure we keep people safe and well. For the past month we have been going in once or twice a week, to manage the post and get support literature out to you, stoma care departments and new ostomates.
We have, as a charity had to adapt, adjust and diversify. I’m very proud that our core support has not stopped during lockdown and the team been making every possible effort to achieve this and more!
