Service Manager Update – July 2022

Whooo – it’s a warm one today! I hope everyone is managing to look after themselves and their loved ones in this heat. One of our great trustees Kristen pulled together a list of useful reading for looking after ourselves and others during this heatwave. Main messages are of course – open windows in morning and evening once the air is cooler – but keep them closed in the middle of the day when its hotter outside than in, drink lots of water, stay home and in the shade, don’t do too much:

The other update to mention is that our revised offer leaflet is about to go to the printers so we will soon have a lovely printed version. Let me know if you would like a few copies to hand out.
