Does anyone have any unwanted books/puzzles/tablets that could be donated to people in hospital? So many don’t have anything with them, are confined to their room and can’t have visitors. Would be great to give them some entertainment or a way to connect to their families. Thanks

Can’t wait for kidney emoji too!!! @TransplantMaple @NVallant @pchandak1 @catboffa
Excited to announce that our proposals for heart and lungs emoji have been approved and will hit keyboards this Autumn! 🎉 It’s important that everyone decide whether they want to be an organ donor and tell their family their decision. 👉🏽blog.unicode.org/2020/01/uni…

This is what I love !! Even in times of pressure we get it right. Organising a wedding blessing with music, flowers, cake and confetti in 30min. Beautiful ceremony. Something the newly weds will treasure. #seniorsupport @AMUQAH1 @fjw2810 @MCubbonNHS @LiZRix_PHT @SarahMuttram
