Like many of you, we are sad to have closed our doors to the outside world. We love being part of the wider community, and thrive on the daily interactions with local people, shops and activities that brighten our lives.  However, we are doing all we can to protect the people we support here at The Grange and are taking social distancing very seriously. Please do not try to come to the site for any reason.  Even delivery drivers are being asked to leave goods at the front door. 

We do not want to lose touch with you, so stay in contact through our active social media channels.  We continue to do creative and inspiring things on our site every day of the week, and are keen to share these with you through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. 

Many of us are facing financial challenges at the moment, and as a charity we are vulnerable: we will lose significant income from our community fundraisers, our business supporters and our service users, whilst facing increased costs to manage the epidemic.  For those of you who share our anxieties, we hope you have the support you need from Government and other agencies.  For those of you who are in a different position, do consider supporting us so that we can still be here, supporting vulnerable adults with love and care, when Covid 19 is just a horrible memory.
