Covid-19 and the Team

Covid-19 has impacted everyone and if it shows us nothing else it has shown just how fragile life can be. Alice supports vulnerable and disadvantaged families, so obviously a global pandemic was going to see demand for support increase. Demand has grown more than we could have envisaged, but our hard working and passionate team have truly stepped up to ensure families get the support they so desperately need.

Our services have adapted to the times and we have put new remote practices in place to support families, we could not do this without an amazing staff and volunteers. Each facing their own challenges such as home schooling, shielding, or supporting vulnerable family members, yet continue to face their challenges and go out of their way to support others. Our family support manager Kelly Dunnings said, ‘ I feel really proud that we have been able to step up and help families during this difficult time, we have conducted lots of wellbeing calls and really built relationships with families that are struggling, we have continued to deliver essential items ensuring family’s needs continue to be met’.
