I was recently invited along to a workshop with Maynards, the sweet company, at London Zoo for the launch of their new sweets and phone app, Maynards Discovery Patch.

This Christmas, I was given the opportunity to take part in the Halifax’s ‘Giving Extra to someone special’ campaign. I was provided with a £50 Amazon voucher and my task was to find someone deserving and get them a present. This wasn’t at all hard for me. I’ve been quite unwell for the past few […]
