Digital Transformation

Since the start of lockdown, we adapted to find new ways of working and communicating with customers and colleagues. It was vitally important that we stayed connected and continued to deliver vital services.

The development of our new website alongside a digital platform provides signposting, accessible information and digital services to ensure we continued to stay connected and provide vital services.

Mental Health and Wellbeing 

We’re living in challenging times & it’s more important than ever that we continue to talk about, raise awareness and support our Mental Health.
This year, MSV colleagues became Ambassadors of Hope, thanks to @ChasingStigma delivering mental health training through the Hub of Hope.
