Before we wrap up for the holidays, we want to say a huge thank you to the charities we've been incredibly fortunate to work with in 2024.

“Can we put the tree up yet?”, “How does Santa fit down the chimney?”, “Why am I always alone?” Children are full of questions, especially at Christmas. But this year, thousands of children in the UK will be asking much more serious questions to Childline. Questions about coping with loneliness, neglect, or challenging family situations. Our newest DRTV ad with NSPCC, 'Ready for Every Question', highlights the importance of Childline to give these young people a voice when no one else is listening. With thanks to production partner, UNIT9, Director, Amelia Hashemi, and everyone at NSPCC for the incredible work they do.

An Open Christmas is more than celebrating the time of year, it's a time of reflection, sharing, and gratitude - and of course lots of delicious food cooked up by our leadership team! A fantastic afternoon with fantastic people 🎄 However you're celebrating this year, we hope it's filled with love, laughter, and wonderful moments. Merry Christmas from our team to yours.
