It’s that time of year again when we all start looking towards the festive season. Racking our brains about what to buy loved ones and what to eat for Christmas lunch, punctuated by the exciting anticipation of spending time with family and friends.

It’s also a time for us to reflect on the year (and how it could possibly have gone so quickly!?) We’ve had a busy year at QER with ongoing projects and a lot of learning along the way. It was also the year that QER proudly celebrated our 20-year anniversary.

For some people, the Christmas period is not all festivities and happiness. Some may have lost family members through the year; some may not have money to celebrate; and some are simply lonely during the festive period. Spare a thought for those people and share some love and compassion if you can, as it can be life changing.

All of us at QER would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year in 2025.
