For all canine lovers out there, here’s one for you.

A nine-year-old boy with a rare genetic disease received over 1000 birthday cards, after having to cancel his birthday party due to Covid-19.
With his first party in 3 years having to be canceled due to previous surgeries taking priority, he was overwhelmed with how many people wrote to him to give him a birthday to remember!

A 99 year old veteran has raised a massive £18million (and counting) for the NHS, by completing 100 laps of his backyard and has no desire of slowing down soon.
Through smashing his target of £1000, we’re rooting for him all the way!
The Nation That Just Keeps On Giving
Around the UK many brands and industries are pulling together to pamper our NHS and emergency service workers in these hard times.
From free facials post lockdown at SkinHQ to AirBnB offering free accommodation to NHS staff, we can’t wait to see more businesses helping out our nation’s heroes.
We’re also doing some fundraising of our own with a PLT x Bongos Bingo game on Saturday 18th April at 8pm. All donations throughout the game will support NHS charities and we’ll also be giving one lucky winner a trip to LA! You can find out everything you need to know here.

Whilst people are stuck at home, Tik Tok has gone wild!
From the dancers to the mimmers, we’re absolutely all here for it.
However, our NHS heroes on the front line have also made quite an appearance recently.
With a number of viral videos triggering the trend, we’re loving the synchronized dancing to boost morale across the globe.
