THE TEXT BELOW STEMS FROM 29 MARCH 2020, DURING THE FIRST COVID19 LOCKDOWN
____
We're reliant on some incredibly brave frontline workers to get us through the pandemic safely. While we isolate, Dnote has brought together from around the island a list of virtual and / or at-home activities in which we can participate. There are some wonderful ideas, designed for all ages.
Create your own list of activities, using the 'Add to list' button. It's a wonderful opportunity – one we really didn't ask for! – to gen up on a great diversity on information and activities from all around the island.
The list is just a start, and it will be growing. To add, amend, etc., mail Dnote (it's particularly helpful to be told when information is wrong or incomplete, or when a feature isn't working!).
No activities match those filters yet.
