Sometimes, it’s really the thought that counts. So, why not pull a few friends together to create a real difference. Even more, remind people to stay in touch beyond the first week. The result will be that your friend will be supported over the long time it takes to heal.
One person who’s thoughtful enough to organise everyone else’s good intentions can make something great happen. So, at Christmas, it’s the perfect time to show you care.
