This month is a 4 week month and last month it was a five week month. So your pay will naturally be slightly less. We are looking at giving all staff some holiday pay next month. We will update you all via email shortly on this issue. Please stay safe. Eunice Finney

I am so sorry it seems we will not be able to pay staff today. The funding has not been released by the bank as yet and I will keep you updated.

We will update you as soon as we have any news. Eunice Finney
