We are just a tiny part of a much larger network of businesses and organisations who are stepping up to support the economy, society and our NHS, but together we can make a real difference.”

partners in South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw recognised that during the pandemic people are experiencing the death of family and friends in difficult and painful circumstances.
