The days before Christmas and New Year can be really hard for people, and it is also the time when we are closed, as are many other agencies.  We are closing on the 18th December and opening again on the 18th January.  In the meantime, you can get support from a number of different places.  These include:

We hope the summer break is restful and we look forward to seeing you in the new year.
