Her Majesty first held a conference call with representatives from Save the Children (STC). They explained the situation of vulnerable children in Spain, whose parents often work but their income doesn't allow them to move out of poverty, and single-parent families, whose situations have been aggravated by the pandemic. STC has launched 'A Tu Lado' (At your side) an emergency response program to support more than 2,000 families, it will give them access to essential food, psychological care and the possibility of continuing with their education.

This includes the protection of all Post Office workers, on average 25% of the workforce is currently working in person.
