Navigating the pandemic

This was a difficult and worrying period for everyone. Keen to help, FFES organised the virtual 2.6 challenge (you could run, jump, bake, it didn’t matter as long as the number 2.6 featured somewhere.)

Families participated in the challenge with such enthusiasm and we raised £7,000. This allowed us to buy iPads to spread amongst the flats which enabled regular virtual contact.

A successful bid for grant from the National Lottery meant we could build an enclosed garden around the campus coffee shop, install games, and create an outdoor space for people to meet when meeting inside was impossible.
