Furlough and Redundancy

I felt the panic rise up, from my stomach, to my chest, to my throat. I tried in vain to stop the tears from falling down my cheeks. His words sounded far away, as if coming through a PA system. ‘Do you have any questions?’

We often can’t see the implications or results of actions for years to come, hindsight is a wonderful thing! We’re no strangers to redundancy and understand how difficult it can be to come to terms with, especially when you might not be so sure of the road ahead.

CAPE is inspired by the spirit we see in people every day, who find the courage and come back stronger, when it feels like it’s all gone wrong. Our biggest strength has simply been to keep talking, and keep connected, and continue to learn and grow together.
