Along with yourselves, we have been financially hit due to the impact of covid-19 and whilst to date we have been able to absorb this we have reached a point where we are no longer able to do so. While the subsidy is no longer available, kits are still able to be ordered as normal but at a full cost which I appreciate will be a challenge. We are currently working through what 2021 will look like and will communicate details as they become clear. I really want to acknowledge and thank you for the huge amount of effort committed to the Small Sticks programme over what has been an exceptionally challenging year. For any questions please contact Tama Jones.
