The Big Pamper
This weekend Spots of Time are taking volunteers on a journey to some of East London’s care homes for a day of pampering – anything from playing cards, to having a cup to tea to painting nails. It might just … Continue reading
My Favourite Illustrators
Some more love from Huntley Muir. When I sent over a list of things they needed to do (part of the digital strategy I’m helping them with) they sent me this in response: (As in they are knuckling down). Best … Continue reading
