About

At the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 hit us, and we entered into the first UK wide restrictions and lockdown.

At this point Wye Dean Wellbeing took the initiative to provide wellbeing support and resources for the public and community to access, collaborating with District and County agencies to distribute the resources and information.
