Christmas trees can be beautiful, full of festivity and joyful......they can also be a trigger. A trigger for memories and good times once had and memories of people once around them.

Christmas and New Year can be a joyous occasion but it can also be one of the most impactful times of year for people. You don't know everyone's story.....be kind.

Figgy the company Fig tree has had a glow up with some lights for Christmas and some new gravel in honour of the office move to Badger Farm on Willowpit Lane.

December is here and the countdown to Christmas and New Year has begun!

Christmas can be a stressful time for many people so between us and RIQC, we have decided to pass on some valuable tips on how to take the stress out of Christmas.

You can find the tips between this account and RIQC's account during the run up to Christmas!

D A Y 1: December itself becomes a stressful and overwhelming time for many people, so to help as many as we can stay happy and calm this month......lets move Christmas to January instead!

As we head towards the latter part of autumn and into winter, be cautious when out walking. Leaves and ice alone are a danger, never mind together.
Be careful and take your time! 🍂🍁

Today marks 35 years since the Kings Cross underground station fire that caused 31 deaths.
The fire started after a lit match was discarded onto a wooden escalator at around 19:30. Trench effect caused the fire to spread rapidly injuring more than 100 people.
