Para 1.20 | 2022/23 was almost as challenging as the covid period, still significantly restricting our work and requiring us to focus on providing one to one telephone support and guidance and liaising with other agencies to ensure the needs of the community were heard and met. We also reached out to other community groups within the UK mainly Manchester. We focused on health and wellbeing, celebrated the Queens Jubilee and celebrated milestone birthdays and Caribbean independence days alongside acknowledging the achievements of the Windrush Generation. |
