    Face Coverings : Why and How to Wear Them Safely

    06 August 2020

    From 8 August face coverings need to be worn in additional indoor settings, unless you are exempt from wearing a face covering.

    Call to 'Be Kind' to People Who Are Exempt from Wearing Face Coverings

    29 July 2020

    The government has produced new guidance and a new range of exemption cards calling for the public and businesses to be mindful of and act sensitively towards people who are exempt from wearing a face covering.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
