CTSI UPDATE – March 24th 2020
Last night the Prime Minister announced further nationwide restrictions, asking people to stay at home and to only leave under strict conditions. In light of these developments, we are continuing to link people with local support networks while also providing additional assistance to the voluntary groups and charities that are helping the most vulnerable and at-risk individuals.
We will hopefully have an update tomorrow on the letters sent by the government to those deemed most at-risk, and what role voluntary groups will play in supporting these people.
If you would like to get in touch with us, then please email us at admin@ctsi.org.uk or call 01259 213840.
