Dear Parent/Carer,
Following Government advice around Coronavirus, which includes minimising social contact to help prevent the spread of the virus, Portsmouth City Council is focusing on ensuring essential services continue to run. There will therefore be a delay in the allocation of the Short Breaks Prepaid Card and to ensure everyone has the opportunity to apply for the card at these challenging times the closing date has been extended until the 10th April.
