At Tanya’s Courage Trust, we have been working really hard in behing the scenes to ensure our Staff, Volunteers and Customers are all safe and that our shops and offices are Covid Secure under the current Guidelines.

Our Shops have changed the layout to enable a one way system for our customers to follow
The Floors have markings/stickers to mark out the 2 meter distance that must be kept between customers

All staff must wear masks during their working hours unless they are exempt, if they are exempt, duties will include working behind the scenes to limit the risk of them contracting Covid
