BuDS Takes A Break

Ben Clark

BuDS will be taking a well-earned break from Friday 20 December 2024 to Sunday 5 January 2025. So that all our trustees, staff, and volunteers, most of whom are disabled people, get the break they need and deserve, we will only be responding to urgent emails or messages. Otherwise, we’ll get back to you in the week commencing Monday 6 January 2025.

If you need to contact BuDS urgently, or about a safeguarding or safety issue, please email andrewc@buds.org.uk. Please do not leave a voicemail, as these may not be picked up.
