I can’t thank Lloyds & Allianz Assistance UK who provide travel insurance through my account for their help & support when I was taken really ill in Mexico, Setting up the case & ensuring I got back to the UK. I was stunned how much hospital care abroad cost #travel #insurance

I have been waiting all year to see Dear Evan Hansen at the Theatre Royal Brighton and it was fantastic, the cast were amazing and the songs so powerful, the show was totally immersive. Can’t beat live theatre. #theatre #live #worththewait

Great day today SJA County of Sussex Crawley Hub learning the new Community First Aider Role. I think I was picked on to be an old man being helped to stand in a way to reduce manual handling on the volunteer. #mysjaday #training #communityfirstaid
