Calm and collected
Our friends over at C.A.L.M - a charity that raises awareness of depression in young men - are feeling pretty happy after receiving our cheque for £1023.18! The money was raised by people all around the world who decided to buy one of our festive Christmas by Colour posters.
This is what C.A.L.M’s Director Jane Powell had to say about our work:
"It was fantastic to hear about Raw's project, Christmas by Colour, and to have the support of such a great and innovative company particularly during these tough economic circumstances. Last month C.A.L.M received the greatest demand on the phoneline to date, with young men ringing about depression and fears of repossession and unemployment. The money raised by Raw will help keep our phonelines going and help stop suicide."

Sprouts
Love them or hate them, Brussels sprouts are synonymous with Christmas. Invisible from shopping lists for 364 days a year, they are the little green balls that make the rest of the meal taste even better in comparison. Rick Mayall and Adrian Edmondson's alter egos Eddie and Richie put it best…
EDDIE: Not sprouts! I hate sprouts!
RICHIE: Oh will you stop whinging Eddie! Nobody likes sprouts.
EDDIE: Then why are we having them then?
RICHIE: Because it's Christmas!
