In 2018/19 the NSPCC service delivered 7,157 counselling sessions across the 12-day period over Christmas and New Year – with almost 900 of those sessions happening between midnight and 7am.

So many of us think about that one special car – the one we have dreamt about owning since we were little, or the one that still makes our heads turn as an adult. Wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to walk into a dealership, hand over the money outright and go home with your new pride and joy? Unfortunately, that’s not realistic for many of us, so instead, it’s better to look at more accessible ways.
How can you get your hands on a luxury car in an accessible way? Read on to find out.

Research shows that being out in the sun makes people not only happier but also healthier. When the days get shorter it is sometimes difficult to go outside. But it is not good to constantly stay cooped up from morning until dark. It is depressed to deal with fewer sun time hours during the winter months. For many people, winter is a giddy time.
