COVID-19 impacted both The Benjamin Foundation’s staff and residents. A few young people did not adapt well to social distancing, which lead to more staff support being required to help manage behaviour and support emotional well-being.

LandAid’s £10,000 grant went towards a Coronavirus Young Person’s Fund, increased staffing costs and PPE.
