@HLHDirectorCS Happy New Year, James

Happy New Year to all my Twitter followers. Back in the office earlier than expected. Perhaps not the start to the year we'd hoped for - but I'm sure if we work together and adhere to the restrictions in place - we can get through this thing. Keep safe and keep well. #StayAtHome

@jennifercarers1 Happy New Year Jennifer and looking forward to working with you again this year

Tonight, 7pm, BBC1 📺 For those in need of help or for those wanting to help, please visit endchildfoodpoverty.org #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY

For many it will be a different Christmas to what was planned and hoped for. Stay safe everyone. The Chip+ helpline is closed for the holidays and will reopen on Tuesday 5th January.
