A message from SHU Rugby regarding Coronavirus...

This is a tough time for everyone. 

Staying home, wherever possible, is absolutely the right thing to do.

However, it can be really tough. 

Loneliness, anxiety and financial worries can affect us all.

If you're going through a hard time,

or you know somebody that might be, then please: reach out.

There is lots of support out there. 

There are loads of people and organisations that can help.

For example, for people in the UK, if you, or anyone you know, needs someone to talk to, The Samaritans are amazing. 

It's no secret that I have used them in the past and they were, literally, lifesavers. 

In the UK you can phone the Samaritans free on: 116 123 

There is also information regarding financial support and benefits on the government website at www.gov.uk

Also, if you're not already signed up, sign up to Facebook.  Right now there are loads of people sharing experiences of how to obtain support and loads of top tips on things like how to exercise at home, cheap but nutritional recipes, how to occupy yourself and keep yourself, and your mind, active, as well as people reaching out just to say hello and connect with others, be it friends, family or complete strangers.

We may be isolated, but we can still communicate, and thanks to modern technology we don't need to feel alone or helpless.

And if you ever fancy just saying hello, you can always write to us here at SHU Rugby.

Just email us at: shurugby@hotmail.co.uk and say hi.

Look after yourselves

Paul
