الإرشادات الثلاثة الجديدة  الصادرة عن الحكومة  بتاريخ ٢٣ مارس 

١- يجب البقاء في البيت وعدم الخروج الا في حالات خاصة
٢- إغلاق العديد من المحلات الغير ضرورية  
٣- منع التجمعات المتكونة من اكثر من شخصين في الأماكن العمومية   

يجب على كل مواطن الالتزام بهذه التعليمات. السلطات المحلية  والشرطة لديهما السلطة لتفريق الجماعات وإلزام غرامات لكل من يخالف هذه التعليمات.

بداً تنفيذ هذه الإجراءات يوم ٢٣ مارس. ستنظر الحكومة في هذه الإجراءات بعد ثلاثة أسابيع وستغيرها حسب الضرورة.

البقاء في البيت 

يجب البقاء في البيت وعدم الخروج الا في هذه الحلات الأربعة: 

⁃ التسوق لشراء الأشياء الأساسية فقط مثل الطعام والأدوية وذلك في حالات نادرة 
⁃ الخروج لممارسة الرياضة، مثل الركض أو المشي أو ركوب الدراجات، وذلك وحدك أو مع أفراد اسرتك فقط و مرة واحدة فقط في اليوم
⁃ الخروج في حالة طبية أو لمساعدة شخص ضعيف 
⁃ الذهاب  إلى العمل وذلك فقط عندما لا يمكن القيام بذلك على الإطلاق في البيت

هذه هي الأسباب الأربعة فقط التي يمكنك الخروج من البيت بسببها - حتى عند القيام بهذه الأنشطة، يجب قضاء اقل وقت ممكن خارج البيت والابتعاد عن أشخاص اخرين بالتزام مسافة مترين بينك و بينهم. 

يجب على كل شخص ان يتتبع هذه التعليمات الجديدة. هناك تعليمات أخرى خاصة بالأسر التي قررت ان تنعزل و كذلك الأشخاص الذين هم في خطر متزايد بسبب السن أو حالاتهم الطبية ويحتاجون حماية اكثر.

The Government introduced three new measures on 23 March 
1. Requiring people to stay at home, except for very limited purposes.
2. Closing non-essential shops and community spaces.
3. Stopping all gatherings of more than two people in public.
Every citizen must comply with these new measures. The relevant authorities, including the police, will be given the powers to enforce them – including through fines and dispersing gatherings.
These measures came into effect on Monday 23 March. The Government will look again at these measures after three weeks, and relax them if the evidence shows this is possible.
Staying at home
You should only leave the house for one of four reasons:

• shopping for basic things you really need, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible.
  
• one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household.
  
• any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
  
• travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home.
  

These are the only four reasons you can go out - even when doing these activities, you should spend as little time as possible outside of the home and make sure you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.
These measures must be followed by everyone. Separate advice is available for individuals or households who are isolating, and for the most vulnerable who need to be shielded.

​

To our refugee partners: 

With regards to the Covid 19 outbreak, Herts Welcomes Refugees'  priority is the safety and wellbeing of our refugee partners and our volunteers. We wish to do all we can to prevent the spread of Coronavirus and, with this in mind, and in line with advice from the Refugee Council and DBC, we have decided to suspend face to face meetings between you and volunteers until further notice.

This may sound a little drastic but we hope you will understand. We encourage you to keep in touch with your volunteers via WhatsApp, Skype or Facetime,  email or phone contact so that you can continue to practise your English. 

Please follow the advice on Coronavirus that you have been given by the Refugee Council or Dacorum Borough Council if you live in Hemel Hempstead 

Volunteers may be able to offer practical support such as shopping or collecting medicines if you cannot do this yourself but will be taking  sensible, recommended precautions to avoid physical or close contact if they do so. 

Best wishes 
Herts Welcomes Refugees

Due to continuing uncertainty surrounding Coronavirus, the trustees have reluctantly decided to postpone the AGM that was planned for Wednesday 25 March.

We hope to arrange a date later in the year and will keep you all informed.
​
With thanks for all your support.

There are now five Women’s Groups across the county and a pilot Men’s Group. They are run by volunteers with support from our Volunteer Coordinator. This was a partnership project with Community Development Action and the funding for the project has now ended.  We very much hope we will be able to continue these, as feedback has been extremely positive, and our own observations indicate that they are of benefit in a variety of ways including social contact, confidence-building, opportunities for conversation with other local people as well as other refugees and asylum seekers. The groups also host speakers who offer information on a variety of topics, including how things work in the UK. There's always a good lunch as well!

In January, local families in North Hertfordshire gathered for a New Year party at the Quaker Meeting House in Stevenage. The venue was generously made available to us without change. About one hundred people attended the event, including volunteers who helped to set up, give families lifts, and organise children's activities. The children were delighted to have their faces painted and to take part in a treasure hunt. Delicious food was provided by Mohamed, who is a local chef and friend to Herts Welcomes Refugees. One volunteer commented: "The afternoon passed in something of a haze, but there have been lots of appreciative comments which made it all worthwhile." 

We are delighted to announce that 105 of our (AMAZING) supporters have pledged to our Laptop appeal on Crowdfunder, helping us to reach our goal of £5,000 so that we can supply laptops to 12 families in Hertfordshire. Thanks to everyone who pledged! The children in these families will benefit enormously as they use the laptops to support their education. 

We are now aiming for a more ambitious goal: to raise another £5,000 so that we can supply 24 families (in total) with laptops. There are currently nineteen days left for us to achieve this goal. These laptops can make a huge and permanent difference in a refugee family's life - helping children whose educations were disrupted by war to bridge the gap at school, while giving adults access to online learning, as well as the ability to prepare CVs and apply for jobs.  

Your money can do permanent good for families whose lives were disrupted by war and the need to flee from their homes, and who are now anxious to rebuild them here in Hertfordshire. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/laptops-for-refugees#start 

We've just launched a Crowdfunder project to raise £5,000 to provide laptops to refugee families with children in Hertfordshire. Please take a look at the videos and pictures to find out more: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/laptops-for-refugees


We need to receive pledges of at least £5,000 by 7 January for the project to be funded! Please consider pledging to this excellent cause.
