Challenging times… yes. But also one of the most inspirational and humbling experiences for our charity!
It’s our people that have been judged outstanding, who make this charity so special, and this has been apparent now more than ever.
Community spirit has flourished. Our team of staff and volunteers are exceeding expectations, adapting to new ways of working and finding creative ways to offer meaningful services and support to our families. Our families and wider community have been astounding, offering lots of encouraging messages of support, donations and practical help. This has been hugely motivating and inspiring. I would particularly like to thank Carol Frederick (LBWF Early Help) for always working hard for local families, and Stella Creasy MP for helping out in times of need.
Our team are using new technologies to interact with families. Our Facebook page @LloydParkCC has daily activities to support families at home, and we are really excited to be offering live virtual sessions for small groups of children and families. This includes support groups Somewhere to Belong and Flourish, and we are starting to pilot keyworker groups for children who attend childcare and other virtual play sessions. Follow us on Facebook for updates.
I wish you all safe and well and look forward to seeing you soon.
Wendy Fields. Chief Executive Officer
