News from Rainbow Junktion
Due to a volunteer testing positive we will be open this Thursday and Friday as a food parcel collection service only (no takeaway cooked food, no tea and coffee in the car park, no choice in the shop).
The reduced team of volunteers on these days will be people who had no contact with the person who tested positive.
The parcels they prepare will contain a selection of dry and fresh food and will be as always no referral and no judgement but sadly also no choice.
We are taking these precautions to be extra careful for the safety of our customers and volunteers but hope to resume normal service as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and stay safe everyone, big rainbow love from us all x

Poetry Corner: ‘Blow Blow Thou Winter Wind’ by William Shakespeare
Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly…

New nationwide ‘Better Health – Every Mind Matters’ Campaign launched today
Half of adults say they are more worried during this current lockdown than the one in March 2020. However, at the same time 3 in 5 (60%) of those asked say they feel hopeful about the future.
To support people during this time, PHE has launched a nationwide Better Health – Every Mind Matters campaign to support people to take action to look after their mental health and wellbeing and help support others such as family and friends. The campaign encourages people to get a free NHS-approved Mind Plan from the Every Mind Matters website. By answering 5 simple questions, adults will get a personalised action plan with practical tips to help them deal with stress and anxiety, boost their mood, sleep better and feel more in control.
