Hi there,
Welcome to another edition of our NAAC e-alert. I know that we've all been patiently waiting for the lifting of lockdown restrictions, but the Government has announced that plans to end these in England on 21 June 2021, have been postponed by at least four weeks. This is to allow for more people to be vaccinated and better protected due to a rise in COVID cases!
NAAC would like to thank all their members and different organisations'?volunteers for everything they have done, prior to and during the Covid-19 crisis; cooking and feeding the homeless, setting up food banks, delivering food, picking up medicine, or checking in on people, all your efforts have proved to be invaluable.
Thank You All...
