It’s the season of good will and all that. We can all become helpers and healers. Remember one person helps make a bad day a slightly better day. Make 2025 the year you become a helper. #BePurposelyKind Merry Christmas

Co-creation cannot be a single issue headline thing, it has to be an ongoing process that supports services to evolve alongside societal challenges……………
