Halfway through Level 5 restrictions

We are halfway through the six week level 5 lockdown!  Every time we do the right thing, we are protecting ourselves and the people around us.  👍

Please continue to wash your hands, cover your mouth if coughing or sneezing, maintain a safe distance and continue to wear a face covering.

Sports Course - Bush Craft Skills

It is important to mind both our physical and mental health during these challenging times. The keep well campaign focuses on 5 main actions to help keep us well.

COVID Bubbles

When you keep your distance, no matter how awkward it feels, you’re protecting yourself and those around you from the spread of COVID-19. But when you drop your guard, when groups get together, when you shake hands or hug someone you love, when you step forward instead of taking a step back, you could become exposed to the virus and so could the people around you. Help drive the number of cases down.  Keep your guard up.. #StaySafe #HoldFirm
