PDF (and printable) version of this newsletter: WPC Covid-19 newsletter January 2021
Back in March last year, we contacted parishioners regarding the challenges being faced due to Covid-19, and to let people know of the local support that is available. We thought it would be helpful now to give an update and reminder.
You will all be aware of the current situation and guidance, but for ongoing latest government and NHS information, please use the internet links below:
