Sarah Robb was forced to join the grief club in her 20s after she lost both her parents. Wading through the thick fog that goes along with loss, she also lost her love for Christmas.

In an attempt to find joy for Christmas again and connect with those also missing a piece of their heart, Sarah started an initiative to connect grievers all over the world.

Introducing, The Christmas Connection. A chance for anyone and everyone to connect with their loved ones in spirit. Grievers can send a message to Sarah, these messages will be written on a wooden Christmas decoration and displayed for the month of December. They will then be burnt on Christmas Eve, passed over to our loved ones in spirit.

You can send a message to The Christmas Connection HERE.

Sarah is also a grief & trauma coach and you can learn more about her incredible work HERE.

If you need more grief support, you can listen to the Good Mourning Podcast or head to Griefline.

Nicola Swann has always had a soft spot for a tea mug.

Although she found pottery later in life, within a couple of years she had started her business Made With Mud. One day a friend of a friend reached out and asked if she could make a mug for some with Alzheimer's. They needed two handles for a little bit of extra grip support and at that point the only option available were plastic beakers or a sippy cups. 

Everyone deserves dignity when enjoying their morning beverage, so Nicola Swann created the Dignity-Tea range of tea mug.

Daniel Monks has always had a passion for performing. Spending his early years crafting lounge-room plays and even adapting Peter Pan for his Year 2 class.

But when Daniel was just 11 years old, doctors discovered a rare tumour on his spine which resulted in partial paralysis to the right side of Daniel’s body.

Fast forward two decades, and Daniel's journey takes a remarkable turn. He has rekindled his passion for acting, now thriving as a performer in London. Recently gracing the West End stage alongside Emilia Clarke.

Whilst studying at the University of Northampton, Dr Krista McLennan discovered a remarkable fact, cows can have best friends.
