Our wonderful colleague Nikki has been taking on the Crochet Challenge this November, crocheting every single day to raise money for Dementia UK a charity that’s incredibly close to all our hearts.

We’d love for you to join us in supporting her.
Whether it’s a few words of encouragement, sharing the fundraising link, or giving a small donation, every bit of support is truly appreciated for such an amazing cause. 💙🧶
