Schools have gone back and we are now inching our way forward, with fingers crossed, to the easing of further restrictions. We know of the problems for young people which have been the consequence of the pandemic; the anxiety, fear, disruption to normal life, concern about exams, jobs and the future, withdrawal, loneliness, isolation and sadly, for many, bereavement.
Action4Youth February Newsletter
There are signs of spring and hope in the blooming of snowdrops and daffodils and in the rapidly growing number of those vaccinated.
