This week we talked to Shane who is a new member of the Voices Group.

Shane is finding Lock Down difficult.  He has never known anything like it before. Sometimes it gets on top of him.  He battles through and talks to people about how he feels.

He is glad to see things starting to open.  He is still being sensible and is careful not to take any chances.

Shane helps at the allotment.  He does things like watering the strawberries. It gives him a break from thinking about social distancing.

Janice's story....

Janice is being careful to follow the new rules.

She has been enjoying watching quiz shows and doing puzzles on her iPad.

She also has college work to keep her busy!

 

 

Janice and her brother live close to one another so she buys food for him when she goes shopping.

She leaves the shopping on his  doorstep then stands back so they don’t have to stand close together.

Janice only goes shopping when she has quite a lot of things to buy.

 She is also keeping in touch with her friends and family by phone.

Janice thinks the lock down is strange, but she is happy and just getting on with things.

 

The message Janice would like to send everyone is:

 

“Stay inside and look after yourselves!”
