We hope that you’re finding these weekly updates helpful. Following feedback from Neighbourhood Engagement Leads, this update will now be once a week, and feature a mix of covid updates and positive updates from communities.

Some of the important information, around how to stay safe, where to get tested, and the support available, will now be available at all times on the Live Well website here.

We would really like to encourage you to share the following information through:

• friends or family who live in your area
• local networks
• neighbour or community groups you may be members of
• with people who you come into regular contact with through your work or local groups

If you haven’t already, it would be really helpful if you could take a couple of minutes to fill out this survey, which allows us to understand how widely this Community Update is being used, and whether it is reaching everyone it needs to. Access the short survey here.
