We had a brilliant video meeting today with @GigBuddies projects from across the UK - and as far away as Australia.

👩‍🎤💥 We shared lots of great ideas for keeping Buddies connected and having fun whilst the situation with coronavirus continues. We'll share these with you asap.

[Gig Buddies @gigbuddies]

We are writing our newsletter and would love you help.

Send us ideas for things to include such as fun activities we can do at home, or a video on how to prepare a meal, learn a skill or show us how you are making the most of time whilst in lockdown.

Thanks! Gig Buddies team

Really appreciated a call with the deputy chief medical officer @DHSCgovuk & other charity CEOs. Still lots of unanswered questions around supported living settings & the social care workforce in relation to household isolation but I thanked them for their efforts to date #covid
