The festive season is upon us, and we’re thrilled to bring you another packed edition of The Extra Mile. While this issue has a touch of Christmas spirit, we’re saving the full festive celebration for a special Festive Edition coming later this month – so keep an eye out for that!

In this issue, we cover some key highlights, including:

🎁 Our latest Christmas fundraising event
