Coronavirus

Running a business is stressful at the best of times. Running a business during a pandemic is even harder. Listening Ear is a new service for Devon businesses that offers people a safe space to chat about those challenges on the telephone. 
Are you struggling with the pressure of running a business during a pandemic? Could you benefit from having someone to listen to your stresses and concerns? If you run a business in Devon, the new Listening Ear service is a place for you share your feelings and experiences.
