All of us are facing a difficult time in the coming weeks and months following the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Following the government announcement yesterday we have taken a few more measures than those announced last week HERE to ensure the safety of our staff and everyone else.
- Our small staff team will no longer be working at all from our office and instead will do home-working for the foreseeable future.
- We can no longer accept calls but we can call you if you email us on info@differentstrokes.co.uk and ask us to.
- Our online shop is closed for the foreseeable future.
- We are now unable to post out resources.
However, we will continue to support our stroke survivor community to the best of our ability. Here is how we CAN help:
