I copy below just three of the many lovely comments we have received:

Fatima: ” Where do I begin? Care Days  has such a big impact on our patients’ lives. Some never been  out of Cape Town , seen an ocean or eaten out. Never had a birthday party. Care Days comes and looks after us and gives us all these things  I love helping them as a  volunteer and patient .. I just love Care Days ...wearing their shirt.

 I love talking to everyone I meet  about Care Days and just love the smile on faces Care Days  bring by  being there for all  of us. "

Cyprus has fallen to 80th place out of 180 countries in the 2026 World Press Freedom Index, according to findings published on Thursday by Reporters Without Borders (RSF).

The country remains the second-lowest ranked European Union member state, ahead only of Greece, and recorded a total score of 56.9 out of 100, just above the global average.

Within the Europe-Balkans region, Cyprus registered the sharpest decline in its political score and the weakest legal score, reflecting restrictions on journalists’ ability to work without interference, access information and protect their sources.
