The 'Keeping Well at Home' and 'Keeping safe in your home during coronavirus' booklets were created by Leeds City Council in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have a large quantity at the PHRC and we would like your help to get them out and into the community, to the people who need them. If you work with service-users or in communities that would benefit from these booklets, please get in touch. We will even post these booklets to you.
