WITH the promise of an end of lockdown looming, I urge your readers to continue to check in on loved ones.

One in six people live with an incurable condition called Raynaud’s that causes painful 'attacks' when it's cold, so winter can be agonising.

It's likely you know someone with it, but may not realise it.

As the only charity supporting people with Raynaud’s, Scleroderma and Raynaud’s UK is urging people to organise a virtual catch-up with friends and family to make sure they are okay and, at the same time, raise money to help us continue our vital work.

We would love you to grab your favourite mug, get online and donate £5 by texting CATCHUP to 70450.
