At The Benjamin Foundation, we have been carefully considering the implications of the Covid-19 (also known as Coronavirus) for the people who use our services, staff and volunteers and continue to follow the latest advice and guidance from the UK Government. Our teams are dealing with this unprecedented situation with their usual dedication and care. We appreciate all efforts in keeping everyone involved with The Benjamin Foundation informed and safe.
We are committed to taking every step possible to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our staff, volunteers and the people who use our services, therefore we encourage everyone to continue to check the GOV.UK website for the very latest public advice.
As a result, of the most recent restrictions announced by the Government in November 2020, please see below for the latest about our services and stores:
