It’s ’All on England’s Coast’ this autumn & beyond, including the stunning @thesuffolkcoast. You can read more about our coastal campaign here: visitbritain.org/news-and-me…
There’s no doubt that The Suffolk Coast is a popular choice for a summer holiday, but head here during the colder months and you get a completely different experience. We’ve picked just a few reasons you should visit during the winter… 👉 thesuffolkcoast.co.uk/articl…

Going above and beyond for a vulnerable customer 💙 Recently, Bus Station Controller Winsome was working at Harrow Bus Station when an elderly customer approached her window and asked to buy a ticket to Athens, Greece. Winsome quickly realised that the customer was upset and confused. After taking the time to sit and talk with her, she discovered that she couldn’t remember her postcode. Rather than simply directing her elsewhere, Winsome went the extra mile. She accompanied the customer on a 30-minute walk home, supported her when she nearly fell, and stayed with her until she knew she was safely home. When they arrived, the customer’s daughter spoke through the doorbell camera to thank Winsome for bringing her home safely. The following day, Winsome arrived at work to find a handwritten card and flowers from the customer’s family. She learned that the lady had dementia, and her daughter was incredibly grateful for the kindness and care Winsome had shown. Thank you, Winsome, for going above and beyond to support a vulnerable customer and for showing such compassion and kindness. #TfLCares #CustomerService #LondonTransport

A confident city centre cultural scene with our two largest theatres doing well makes the whole city more connected and a better place to live, work in and visit. As cultural beacons, @RegandVic holds communities together and also help to keep the night-time economy going. @StokeontrentBID @Jennyamphlett
.@RegandVic were highly commended in the High Street Impact category of @UniofStaffs Business Awards, sponsored by @StokeontrentBID. Please take one minute out of your day to watch the short film that was played as part of the awards ceremony.
