Today we join with the nation in this National Day of Reflection which is a such poignant anniversary. It has been one of the most challenging and difficult twelve months which has touched all of our lives. Tragically approx 146,000 people have died across the UK since the start of the pandemic and our thoughts are with those who have lost family members. We recognise that although there are still tough times ahead, we do take heart that there are early signs of the pandemic being past its peak and hope for a return to more normal and stable future for all of us.
