Some people were trying to guess who was who from our cartoon style Christmas greeting. So here is an updated picture with the names in the order we appear in the picture.

Did you know who was who?

โœจ๐ŸŽ„ A Festive Throwback to Therapy Expo! ๐ŸŽ„โœจ

Can you believe itโ€™s already a month since Therapy Expo? Time really does fly at this time of year! A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand and joined in with our competitions โ€“ both online and in person. We loved seeing so many of you get involved ๐Ÿ™Œ

We were hoping to share some winner photos, but between busy diaries and festive chaos, it just wasnโ€™t meant to be this time!
