Helping our frontline heroes
While we’re confined to the same four walls, most of us are feeling a little helpless whilst our countries medical staff are dealing with such challenging circumstances. One way you can help though is to donate to Meals for the NHS, who deliver food to hungry NHS staff facing gruelling shifts.
If you’re elsewhere in the world, which charities have you been donating to? Let us know and we can feature them in next week’s Round Up!
Actor John Krasinski gives us some good news and something to smile about.
A reminder that the UK office will be closed tomorrow and Monday for Easter, and the MTL office will be closed tomorrow.
