In these current times of lockdown our friends feel increasing loneliness , fear , loss of confidence and so miss social company . We continue to keep phone contact with our DTM friends and try to keep their spirits up through conversations , sharing stories , memories and giving practical help as needed. Our Friends have thoroughly enjoyed reading about DTM in the latest edition of the ‘One Darlington’ magazine, as well as our annual newsletter (see photos and link below for the article).

We all hope and trust that better times are ahead and we so value our contact with our wonderful friends who in turn encourage us!

A couple of bits of good news:

We are delighted to say that we have new Friends who have joined us since Christmas and we look forward to providing valuable support and companionship through these difficult times.

Almost all of our Friends have now received their first doses of a COVID-19 vaccine! This is fantastic news.
