A message from our CEO
message from our CEO Tara Quinn:
“Now is such a difficult and uncertain time, staying healthy is our main priority for the foreseeable future.
Physical health is key now, however, we cannot ignore the effects to our mental wellbeing. There are lots of things we can do to maintain our mental wellbeing, whether we are in isolation or reducing contact. Please see our website for more guidance about looking after mental wellbeing www.cemind.org
Like in many crises, people pull together and we have seen much of this. We are working our hardest to adapt to the current situation and keep all of our services open, albeit using different methods of communication, and we couldn’t do this without the continued support we receive.
I would like to say a huge thank you to all of you using our services, for your understanding and willingness for change; to our funders and stakeholders who are allowing us to make changes as appropriate to enable our much-needed services to continue; to our sponsors and donees, some who have astounded us with their generosity to enable us to manage through this period; and last, but by no means least, our staff who have been understanding, helpful and willing to do whatever is necessary to allow our services to continue for those who need it most, now, and in the future.
Thank you.”
