BEWARE – Crypto scams

Crypto scams

Crypto scams are on the rise!
Don’t let your investment dreams turn into a nightmare, follow these simple tips…

  • Do your research – criminals create fake platforms to imitate genuine investment sites.
    Search the company on the FCA Firm Checker and beware of poor design, spelling and grammar. 
  • Beware unsolicited approaches on social media or dating platforms about day trading or crypto investment scheme – even if they are forwarded / passed to you by ‘friends’.
  • Beware of ‘early exit’ attempts to move communication from the original platform onto an encrypted platform, such as WhatsApp or Telegram.
  • Beware of continuous pressure to make additional investments, and of messages being sent outside UK normal business hours.
  • Be suspicious if you are advised to ignore warning messages from banks & crypto exchanges
    or being instructed not to tell anyone about a ‘special deal.’

Did your recycle your Christmas Tree in aid of local charities ?

The Big Christmas Tree Cycle Appeal 2026 totals are in 🌲♻️

Any  kind donation and registration helped us to raise £1.85 million for charities across the UK and recycle 89,000 real Christmas trees, helping to fund vital care whilst protecting the planet.

More than 150 local charities and organisations will benefit from this years colossal amount raised!

This impact was only possible because of the people behind it. Our incredible 67 charity partners who made 82 collections possible, the businesses who stepped up to support and the 4000+ volunteers who gave their time and energy to the appeal nationwide. We couldn’t be prouder of what’s been achieved together.

Next year show your support for our local community ,like Arthur Rank Hospice, where your donation will make a real difference!
