Buddies contacts now topped 900 "friend" contacts
The Buddies scheme was started during the Covid era, October 2020, putting Buddies in contact with Friends to offer support and provide a listening ear. I am delighted to announce that during this time 900 support contacts have been made, mainly by phone and text/Whatsapp, but also with face to face contacts, and thank those Buddies for their continuing support.
