*Dear GreenNet friends,* 	
*December 2021*


2021 has been another shocking year, full of surprises and challenges.

Our services have been operating normally. GreenNet phone lines are
diverting to staff when we are working at home, so please leave us a
message if we don't pick up immediately and we'll get back to you the
same day or the next day that the office is open.

For Christmas opening hours please skip <#opening> to the end of this
message.


      Office Move

We moved our office in Summer and are now located at Oxford House
<https://www.oxfordhouse.org.uk/> in Bethnal Green, just down the road
from the old place.

Our office move was entirely carried out by bicycle, thanks to the
amazing Pedalme <https://pedalme.co.uk/>.


      Connecting GN customers

We've been continuing to work on innovative ways to support our
customers during lockdown -
