FNF Newsletter 1st February 2021

Hello Visitor,

Welcome to our first February issue. There are five articles in this issue. We are working on a number of others, including some further support information articles that will follow in the coming days.

We appreciate how difficult it is for people to get help currently, not least as the lockdown has meant that physical meetings are not taking place currently. There are a number of online meetings and these are being further developed. Fortunately our Helpline is at full strength with more volunteers than ever. We also suggest that Members support each other on our online Forums.

Thank you for your support.

With best wishes
