As Chief Barker of Variety, the Children’s Charity I get asked how people can #getinvolved. The Variety website has a great page to help anyone interested in donating time or money,with lots of resources, tips and practical advice. Go to variety.org.uk/get-involved   #varietythechildrenscharity

Looking through old pictures&found this. Taken in the courtyard of #BuckinghamPalace after receiving my #MBE from #HerMajestyQueenElizabethII in 2016. What a day! Cherish the memories&have a great weekend everyone! #flashbackfriday #feelgoodfriday #insidebuckinghampalace

It’s the United Nations #InternationalYouthDay. This one is celebrating the power of youth&digital innovation discovering how young minds are harnessing technology to create sustainable solutions for our world's most pressing challenges. More info below!  un.org/en/observances…

Embrace everyday, don’t wish the week away, and do something each day that makes you happy. So many of us spend our time waiting for tomorrow, ignoring the power of the present. Wishing you all a happy Wednesday! #midweekmotivation #embracenow

Day2 of the 4day week. I love a Bank Holiday but when you run your own business, there's a game of catch up before&after time off. If you work for yourself, remember we all deserve a break - just do your best.  #businessownership #workingforyourself #begoodtoyourself #timeoff
