Dear Chapter service user,
Re: Coronavirus
You are no doubt aware of the developing situation regarding coronavirus.
The government have advised people to avoid unnecessary social contact and where possible to work from home.
The health of our staff, volunteers and service users is always our first priority.
We will therefore be suspending all group activities until further notice. 1-2-1 appointments will continue but will largely take place over the telephone.
Group activities will resume as soon as it is appropriate to do so.
Chapter appreciate that this is an unsettling time for people. We are currently exploring other ways in which we can support you at this time and will be adapting our services to respond to the current situation.
Your key worker will maintain contact with you, should you wish to speak to your key worker or a member of the Chapter team you can call us on the usual number 01244 344 409.
