LAMS June Newsletter
We apologise for this brief newsletter. The staffing issues in LAMS this month have not left much time for newsletter writing.
June 1st was national “say something nice day” and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your patience and get well wishes for the team over the last month when a few of us have been off with Covid.
Your kind words really cheered us up here at LAMS so we are going to try and carry on the habit and say something nice to someone everyday.
