March 2020 - and now - we are where we are

Dear All,
Now is the time to plan ahead for when this is all over. We are busy behind the scenes writing funding bids, planning to incorporate and make sure there are some great things happening in the future.

WE REALLY NEED YOUR FEEDBACK NOW

.....SO please complete a survey about what has happened so far, and whether or not you have been involved. This is VERY important to us – what you share will make a difference to what we do. Exercise your voice, we need to hear it - positive and negative, all needed, all useful.

REMEMBER the last newsletter mentioned live life drawing on BBC TV? Join in with #stayconnectedcanopy - an online drawing group that is suitable for all ages and ability levels - something to do when you need a break from TV and want something to inspire you.

THOSE OF US WORKING IN THE CREATIVE INDUSTRIES AND ARE SELF-EMPLOYED WILL BE WORRYING NOW. FINGERS CROSSED THAT THE GOVERNMENT ENSURES WE GET THE SAME TREATMENT AS PAYE PEOPLE. IT IS HARD FOR ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE

- BE WELL -

STAY AT HOME
& BIG THANKS TO KEY WORKERS
There is a social event you can participate in to thank the NHS
Clap for our Carers 8pm on 26th March
And a fundraiser here

Final words – if you don’t know how to use Skype and want help – email me. I will help you set it up if I can. And a tip for that just-in-case situation: put emergency phone numbers on your mobile phone lock screen. Just a little thing to do, worth doing

Be well, Carolyn

DURING THE PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN I continue to work an average of two days per week for Creative Canopy. I'd be very grateful if you could email me to arrange phone calls and Skypes, to ensure we get to talk as soon as I'm free. Let's keep in touch. Let's plan a celebration for the end!
