Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus all IVA activity has been posponed or cancelled. The IVA committee along with the council, are reviewing ideas to ensure special events are commemorated and not forgottern, by looking at ways they can be celebrated once the restrictions have been relaxed. Current ideas are the Armed Forces and Emergancy Services Day, conducted on Highbury Fields. maybe is Sept/Oct 2020 depending on the outbreak situation.
The IVA have initiated a "Buddy Call" process to ensure members who could be isolated alone or with difficulties getting essential, can speak with somone they know just for a reassuring chat or to ask for support during this difficult period. In some cases members will be calling you, just to ensure all is ok. It is important we all keep in touch during this period. Stay Safe & Stay at Home
