As promised we continue to update the Whit's happening as we know at this time more than ever things can change quickly and its good to know what is out there to offer support if needed, or, some ideas for things to do. 

Thanks also to partners who are sharing things with us to include. As ever, if you see any errors or omissions please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. we do listen and try and help where we can

There are some changes so its worth if you can, making a wee cuppa tea and taking some time to see what is in there and refer to it as needed. If there is anything missing let us know we will try and include in the next one.

COVID19 has turned the world on its head and for all, we are in this situation our experiences of the situation may be different. 

The whit's happening is a wee attempt at maybe helping us stay connected at this time.

As we produce this so frequently the only way, we can share it for now, is an e-version. Not everyone is online but may know someone who is. 

This is a time where if we are in it together, fewer people get left behind. It may be you don't need to know anything in the whit's happening, but someone else you know maybe values knowing more about e.g. ''what is being done around digital inclusion and who may be able to help'' (page 18!)

These are strange times, but if we look out for each other, are kind to each other, maybe we can help ease some of the natural anxiety these times bring and help more people have an improved sense of wellbeing and hope for the future and a better new normal?
