Over the coming financial year, we stand to lose up to £2.4 million of our income directly due to the Coronavirus outbreak. In recent weeks, we have had to make some very difficult decisions: closing all 11 of our charity shops and postponing our fundraising events for the next few months.

Our nurses and medical team continue to work on the front-line every day to care for patients and we're incredibly proud of them. It's because of you, the local community, that we can continue to take referrals and deliver our free services. We do have robust reserves to mitigate against events such as these but it is vital we minimise our reliance on them.

We've been humbled by your acts of kindness and the messages we've received. Your support really has never been more important than it is now.

Thank you and remember to Stay Safe, Stay Home and Save Lives.
