This is the inspirational story of photographer Jo-Anne, who travels the world to find women rescuing animals. What a beautiful project she has undertaken, shining a light on some of the most altruistic, hard-working women working on the front line of animal rescue. I love her!

My Advent Calendar - Notebook

I absolutely loved working with Kristina on this feature. She had an idea to create an advent calendar with a charity twist - behind every door is a 50p contribution to a charity. The premise supports 24 incredible charities, all carefully selected by Kristina and covering good causes in various areas, from children in need to animals in need and everything in between.

My partner stabbed me 24 times - Closer

What happened to Natalie is unfathomable. You may have read about her in the papers back on that fateful day and in the weeks and months that followed. We were a nation unable to believe her own partner, the father of her unborn child, could have done what he did. But, he did. And that's something Natalie had to come to terms with and move on from.

Letters from the heart - Take a Break

Ah, isn't this gorgeous? Four daughters and one son who were adopted write open letters of thanks and adoration to the mums who adopted them and helped shape their lives for the better. I love adoption - it is not easy but it is incredible and these five families are testament to the rewards. Out now in Take A Break.

I'm still Lorayne... Best Magazine

The Restaurant That Makes Mistakes took a group of people with varying forms of dementia and gave them the opportunity to work in a restaurant - the results are on 4od now. It's a great concept for a show and an experiment - incredible people have been written off as incapable of working but the show asks what happens if you give people responsibility again? Lorayne was one of the participants and has early onset frontotemporal dementia.

The long road to fatherhood - Best

This isn't an easy read, but it's poignant and beautiful and Jon's attitude towards the double tragedy he and wife Vikki faced is utterly gorgeous. Because he's glad he had the little time he had with his twin sons. He's grateful to the medical team who tried to save their lives, the friends he made while living in the worst possible circumstances, the kindness of those who helped his family during their time of need.
