Perhaps check in on friends and family and support one another, whether it's picking up the phone or getting together over a cuppa. Our libraries have resources which may be helpful too, with activities such as Book Groups, Chatty Cafés, Open Book, Dementia Cafés, gardening, sewing, board games, jigsaws and more. And of course we have lots of books, including @readingagency Reading Well for Families Collection and don't forget our online @BorrowBox library.
