Today, 23 March 2021 marks the anniversary of the first national lockdown.

It has been one of the most challenging and difficult twelve months which has touched all of our lives.

Tragically and so sadly, 126,000 people have died across the UK during that time.

So many people have been unwell due to the pandemic and have lost family members.  Every life lost has been devastating for the people left behind.

However there are early signs of the pandemic being past its peak and hope for a return to more normal and brighter times ahead.
