Friendships & peer support – Keeping friendships going


The best way is to tell the world. It has opened up so much support.

I use ‘MoonPig’ to send online personalised cards or small hampers to friends.

Keep a list of go-to people who can help with specific issues e.g. repairs, technology issues.
