The last month has been a busy one, with lots happening in the team. We were sad to see our Project Enabler Alicia leave us after a year of working with us. She has moved onto an amazing new opportunity with Bucks Business First, and will be collaborating with us in her new role! We are also pleased to say that she will be staying with us as a volunteer!

April Update – IAG Enquiries
Whilst we have not officially launched out enquiries service yet, our small but dedicated team continues to answer queries from members and professionals across Buckinghamshire on a range of topics.
We are handling a number of enquiries currently, and we pride ourselves in being able to support members with a range of enquiries, including housing, benefits, accessibility and local help, disability, and general law and covid.
If we can’t answer ourselves we will always signpost you to a local or national service we know will be able to help you.
We are in need of volunteers to support this service, if you have knowledge of disability laws, housing, accessibility or benefits, we could use your support. Please email volunteering@buds.org.uk
April Update – Comms Team
The Comms team has been hard at work behind the scenes this month. From volunteer-led training sessions about making graphics, to small group meetings about creating interactive materials, we’ve been very busy teaching our volunteers about how to make content to share with you on social media and on our website.

Some cautiously good news about Covid-19 in Buckinghamshire, as it looks as if we may be coming to the end of the latest wave caused by the Omicron BA.2 variant. BUT there are new variants queuing up to replace BA.2, so the current fall in infection levels won’t last very long. And, even with the fall, the risk of catching Covid when out and about in Bucks is still EXTREMELY HIGH. Sadly, Bucks hospitals remain full of Covid patients and Covid deaths remain high.
BuDS urges everyone to be Covid-Cautious and keep taking sensible precautions against catching Covid. Wear a FFP2 or N95 filter mask in public places, breathe clean air, avoid crowds and busy places, work from home if you can, and protect your older and vulnerable relatives and friends.

The Covid-19 EMERGENCY in Buckinghamshire continues, although the holidays are continuing to slightly reduce infection levels. As of 16 April, 1 in every 18 people in Bucks has Covid-19. There has been NO big fall in infections and the risk of meeting an infected person remains CRITICALLY HIGH.
BuDS urges everyone to be Covid-Cautious and keep taking sensible precautions against catching Covid. Wear a FFP2 or N95 filter mask in public places, breathe clean air, avoid crowds and busy places, work from home if you can, and protect your older and vulnerable relatives and friends.
Remember, Covid-19 is NOT like the flu or a cold. It matters if you catch Covid. Covid-19 is medically proven to cause widespread organ damage and long-term illness in millions of people, which the flu has never done. Even if you have manageable Covid illness at home, the longer-term effect on you and your future could be devastating. Taking sensible precautions is in your own best interest, especially if you are disabled, have medical conditions, or are an older person.
