Introduction
Lots to cover this week and I want to start with massive thanks to all who donated to the charity last week. Every single penny is massively appreciated. I promise to only ever ask once a year so back to normal now.
Happy St Patrick’s Day to all who recognise it, firstly. We are also moving into the week which has World Social Work Day. I hope you manage to recognise the day in some capacity.
Have a good week.
