Coronavirus Update - Ore Valley Offices
The Government advice is to reduce all non-essential contact and look to provide ‘social distancing’ including the avoidance of large group gatherings and densely populated spaces, such as bars, restaurants and offices. With this in mind, in order to be able to maximise the chance of being able to provide continuous services we are going to change the way we provide services. With effect from Wednesday 18th March at 2PM, our team is going to be spread between two locations - our Cardenden Office and our Business Centre in Lochgelly. This will allow us to fully test our ability to continue to work from remote locations. From Monday 23rd March, our office will be closed and our staff will be working from home. All of our staff have equipment to allow them to access all of the Ore Valley Housing Association computer systems and telephone systems.
