Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As 2019 draws to a close, many of our lovely Institute Members and Council will be heading off to spend time with loved ones.

There will also be several who will be working through the holidays, keeping vigilant for an industry that never stops.

Lets not forget our fantastic NHS staff and all the shift workers, who work to look after us in this festive time!

For some this time of year is very difficult. Please remember to reach out to those around you who live on their own or who have loved ones abroad, and check how they're doing.

And remember, if you're finding yourself struggling at this time of year, our friends at Suffolk Mind and The Insurance Charities are there to help.

There is a wealth of information available on their websites:

Whatever you're doing and wherever you are, I wish you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, filled with love and food!

See you all in 2020!
