Our everyday lives are being disrupted in so many ways, and your emotional wellbeing is really important.
We’ve collated some resources and guidance for our members which we hope will help you if you’re self-isolating, working from home, looking after children or are struggling financially.
We aim to build this resource up with tips from members, so please let us know what works for you and we’ll share these with other members. Email your tips to us at: info@cfg.org.uk
