Deaf Ex-Mainstreamers Group Statement during the Covid-19 pandemic

We received funding from the NHS to continue to support the DEX Deaf Youth Council (DDYC) and other youth groups so they are not isolated at home and posted government and NHS information and updates on the current Coronavirus world-wide outbreak to our members.

We now have Heritage Lottery Covid 19 Funding in order to sustain DEX throughout the Coronavirus. During Tiers 2 and 3 Lockdowns we are not meeting up but will keep in touch with the DDYC members individually.

We follow government rules:

• Wash hands - keep washing hands regularly
• Cover face - wear a face covering in enclosed spaces
• Make space - stay at least 2 metres apart - or 1 metre with a face covering or other precautions

This is not only for our own safety but for everyone.
