Ross and Rachel. Tim and Dawn. Sam and Diane. Classic TV characters who all bring to mind one simple phrase:
Will they, won’t they?

Every quarter, our team gets a ‘Passion Day,’ where they can volunteer or spend time on something they're passionate about.

Yesterday, six of our team spent the day with One Roof Leicester, preparing a house for someone who was previously homeless. That meant cleaning, painting and gardening to turn a house into a place someone can truly call home.

There is just two weeks left to get your nominations in for the Leicestershire Community Champions Awards.

This year’s award categories include:
• Charity of the Year
• Charity Employee of the Year
• Young Fundraiser of the Year
• Fundraiser of the Year
• Volunteer of the Year
• Trustee of the Year
• Environmental Project of the Year
• Community Organisation of the Year

Nominating takes just a few minutes, and it's a wonderful way to say thank you to someone whose efforts don't always get the recognition they deserve.
