As an organisation we are splitting up any large groups that we find and warning them of the dangers of their actions and the subsequent pressure they are putting on the NHS. We are finding that we are having a lot of success with this and the community almost seems to be policing itself as the majority are embracing the restrictions as they understand the importance of them. We are hopeful that this cultural pressure will con- tinue to see the majority of people staying at home with only a select few travelling due to essential business and/or shopping requirements.” /TorfaenVoluntaryAlliance www.tvawales.org.uk @TVATorfaen FUNDING SUPPORT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE During COVID-19 we understand that finding funding to pay for the service you are providing is dif- ficult.

Access to toilets supports people to go out and about and to feel confident that, should they need to, they can safely use a toilet. This is the case for people of all ages, with or without a health condition. For those people who have more frequent or urgent need of a toilet, they often plan their trip away from home around toilet availability or they do not go out at all. This can lead to social isolation and loneliness and affects people of all ages.
