On the public fund raising event like comic relief (red nose day) and other similar events. Reduce the foreign aid and invest more in to public sector (NHS, police, fire etc). Our health services and other public sector roles have been taking a huge hit in recent years. Since COVID -19 they have been under huge pressure and no amount of planning could have prepared us for what was about to happen, but they were so under staffed and under prepared.
