2/3 I use Music, video calls and gaming to keep my mind occupied, holding out for the day we can all get together again :) I'm lucky though, I'm resilient and know that this is only temporary. For others the trauma of COVID-19 will continue well beyond any lockdowns.

I've met Darren a few times most notably on the #bighike Darren absolutely personifies how you don't need experience in care to exude our values, and be a great support worker
