Restrictions are easing from the 4th of July. Click here for a helpful infographic that outlines what you can and can not do.

Up to date information can be found on the Council website here, but below are some of the key things to remember:

• You can now go out to exercise more than once a day.
• You can meet in groups of 6 outside and in gardens following social distancing guidelines. You can go into someone’s house but only to use their bathroom.
• Support bubbles have been introduced for people living alone. As a single person you can choose your support bubble and stay with them overnight at their home.
• From the 4th of July you can stay overnight somewhere else in England with the people you live with or your support bubble.
• Loss or a change in your sense of smell or taste is a symptom of the virus, as well as a high temperature or continuous cough. You must self-isolate at home for 7 days if you have symptoms.
• The NHS is still open! If you need a doctor call 111 or your GP, or call 999 in an emergency. If you need a dentist and you are struggling, call our advice line.

• Please contact your child’s school to find out what is happening.
• Some schools have opened and some may not open till September.
• If you are confused about whether or not your child’s school is open, please contact the Centre and we will help you.

We will continue providing support through the advice support line below, but we will be open for key appointments from the middle of July:

Listen to our English for Life in the U.K. podcast!

English for life in the U.K. is one of the ESOL classes here at the Centre, run by a team of our volunteers. There is a weekly podcast to support this class which is available here, which we hope will be of interest to anyone wanting to improve their English and learn more about life in the U.K. There are also transcripts of most of the episodes here, and there is additional material available through our twitter account here.
