Every £1 becomes £2, every £50 becomes £100, every £500 becomes £1000! Help us reach our target by 12pm on 10th December so we can provide even more singers with live changing experiences. Thank you @BigGive for having us for the Christmas Challenge! bit.ly/biggive_donate

In beautiful Dorchester Abbey, @SoundResource gave a Moving Music concert, giving huge pleasure to people living with dementia and their carers. Soprano Hannah Davey with Christopher and Celia Redgate on piano/oboe and violin/flute were an inspiration. Christmas spirit in action!

Celebrating #TalkToAStranger Week in Canada https://xitter.cf/t.co/MaYXDS9MeS ! Smile, say hello, reach out to chat. This is for all of us worldwide @EndLonelinessUK @EndLonelinessAU @endsocisolation @ibashochat @GillianSocial @fdn4sociconnect @marmaladetrust @ageukcampaigns @Steph_Peacock
Research shows that even brief interactions with others can boost our mood, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. It’s amazing how something as simple as a quick chat can make a difference in our day AND our health! #GenWell #TTSW #TalkToAStranger

Thank you so much! I personally ate 3 of the 50 scones! Such generosity, they were absolutely delicious 😋 Very handy being prefilled with cream & jam - what a brilliant idea!

Dear @TheIFS @PJTheEconomist, I’m so disappointed. You found Sure Start had no impact on offending but you picked 1 positive stat & made it the headline. Sector press is now wrongly reporting that Sure Start cut offending by 20%. Young people deserve much much better than this.

Another wonderful afternoon at The Glamour Club! It was a joyous celebration for the 30th event. To celebrate The Glamour Club’s collaboration with @HelloTogetherCo, I accepted a cake on their behalf, which I shall deliver to their office on Monday! theglamourclub.co.uk
