Icelandic Christmas book flood - Wikipedia
π All year long I browse charity shops (hospice ones are best obvs!) and pick up interesting books, usually business, leadership or personal development. I wrap them up with a (new) chocolate bar for Christmas presents.

π Iβm passionate about learning and love giving books to colleagues as gifts.
π A few years ago I heard about the Icelandic tradition "Jolabokaflod", so now I give chocolate as well as a book. Better than a bottle of wine I think.

Hospices are on the brink. Surging costs have led to many services being cut back β just as demand is rising, fast, because of our ageing population.
The situation is not sustainable β and time is running out.

Why hospice care is more than you think
For Hospice Care Week 2025, we explore a heartwarming story of hospice care in the community β and why hospice care is more than you think.
Hospice care is more than you think.
Outside the hospice building, hospices make 1.4m visits every year to help people at the end of their lives live well in the community
People like Linda, who is being cared for at home by Claire from Isabel Hospice.

Hospice care is more than you think.
From wards to homes, hospices support people at the end of life every day.
But rising demand and soaring costs mean services are at risk.
Will you ask your MP to help? It only takes 30 seconds π

βCulture and strategy must be woven together to make a single basket.β
This resonates strongly with me rn as we bring refreshed people and culture plans. A more intentional approach to culture will shape how we work, so we can deliver our strategy, make a difference.
