LAS Strategy For The Future

LAS are committed to continue supporting people through the Covid-19 outbreak. Although the situation has been very difficult, it has given us the opportunity to reflect and make plans for how we can improve our services, and reach more people. We have created a new strategy which sets out our plans for the future, in an easy-read format. This explains how we will try to adapt our services so we can continue to support people throughout the crisis and beyond.
