Focus on 2020

The Covid pandemic meant that for most of us 2020 was the year we would rather forget.

Thankfully nature was out there to help many deal with the isolation and sadness that the year brought with it.

Our main picture, taken by Kathryn Parsons, features a rainbow – the symbol that became so important to us during the pandemic as NHS workers battled to cope.

Here are just a few photographs taken by our members and supporters during 2020 that helped us along. You can click on the images to open them in a larger window.
