As our circumstances continuing to evolve for the better, with this month bringing fresh starts anew, we wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and healthy new year.

In this month's edition of the newsletter, we wanted to reassure that although we are still in the midst of facing the Omicron variant, our communities can rely upon us to serve through the myriad of quality, bespoke services we now offer.

With booster vaccines now readily available for all adults over 18, we are so grateful that our surroundings and daily life are that much safer than this time last year, however, there are many in the community who have been affected significantly by the effects of the pandemic and need our help. Therefore, if yourself, a loved one, a neighbour or a client could really use our help through the below services, please do give us a call or email to find out more information or register with us.
