We have two brand new Open Access titles for you to start the year! Please share these far and wide with anyone you think might be interested. Print copies of both are also available on our website.

Having spent a lovely time together yesterday at our work Christmas party, for most of us this is our last working day of a very busy 2025!

This Christmas season we are making a donation to Borderlands, a charity supporting refugees and asylum seekers in Bristol. Flo has been volunteering with Borderlands and has seen firsthand how the charity provides a welcoming and inclusive community to support refugees in the local area.

For more information about Borderlands, please visit their website (https://buff.ly/NGDPQHM).

We hope that you enjoy the festive season and we wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2026✨
