Coronavirus is affecting the most vulnerable children and young people in our communities. Support from The Eikon Charity at school, in their local youth club or with their counsellor is a lifeline for many. Covid-19 threatens that lifeline because we have had to take the difficult decision to suspend face to face work at a time when the children we support are more anxious than ever. We are looking carefully at how we can best support our volunteers, staff and partners to continue to be there for them. We can assure you that Eikon's work will continue insofar as we can do so safely without risking anyones health. We will be doing all we can to support children and young people remotely via video calls, telephone and other safe and appropriate means of communication. The focus is rightly on protecting physically vulnerable and older people, but let's not neglect the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children. Please give generously today so that we can be there for them.
