Each year I feel a duty to remind people of the massacre of 3/4 June 1989 around Tiananmen Sq. And each year I get assailed by bots and others, doing the job of Chinese Communist Party propaganda, who claim it didn’t happen or was all a US-plot. Sorry: it did, and it wasn’t.

[Alan Fraser @AlanFraserCAS]

Great reporting (again) from the @brumdispatch . And in an incredible example of #synchronicity it landed in my inbox just as I was waiting to go into a meeting to discuss the future of Bill House with Baroness Scott with & senior civil servants at @DLUHC https://t.co/12d3Y0GKmp

Absolutely love having these as our corporate sponsor, Board meeting for our Academy Trust for vulnerable young people. Bunch of people on a mission to make education work in an asset based, trauma informed way @LaurenceChilver @AlanFraserCAS

[Alan Fraser @AlanFraserCAS]

What the hell is happening to #MicrosoftTeams? Is it just me or can other people suddenly not join meetings either. I cannot get it to work!

[Alan Fraser @AlanFraserCAS]

Great to be back at @YMCAHeart for the opening of Mary Court. @Peter_StPets @EddieHughes4WN and I all worked on this scheme over the years but it’s taken until now to finally get it completed. And it looks great - well done to all concerned. #homelessness #socialhousing

My Year in #Film 1 - Fallen Leaves by veteran Finnish auteur Aki Kirausmäki. Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes in 2023 this was my first ever Kirausmäki film. It’s quirky, witty, tragic, beguiling, wise - and short (81 mins). A great way to start the year.

An excellent Board of Directors meeting for Talenton, our academy trust opening an asset based, trauma informed, AP school @LaurenceChilver @AlanFraserCAS @OencaCLM

[Anne Hollinghurst @BishopAnneH]

Exciting project! Fab team with @AlanFraserCAS & colleagues from @cofebirmingham. Looking forward to developing our partnerships in Handsworth. Faith communities working together to build a better future and #socialhousing. Thanks to @NishkamCentre for the welcome @ChurchHousing

[Alan Fraser @AlanFraserCAS]

Forget tax cuts; this is the news that the #socialhousing sector has been waiting for. #AutumnStatement

[Homeless Link @HomelessLink]

💥LHA has been uplifted💥

We are pleased the Chancellor has finally listened to the homelessness sector and uplifted the LHA rate.

It will give people on low income more breathing space, allowing them to access more affordable housing options while helping prevent homelessness.

[Alan Fraser @AlanFraserCAS]

Great to be at the @NishkamCentre with +Anne on behalf of @cofebirmingham , filming about our exciting partnership work on creating more #socialhousing in #Handsworth.

[Alan Fraser @AlanFraserCAS]

At a fringe session of the @churchofengland #GeneralSynod talking about the #housingcrisis, on behalf of one of my clients @cofebirmingham. Good to see Bishops Rachel and Guli and Lord Best leading the way in galvanising the Church’s response. #socialhousing #homelessness

If you want to know why I gave up a perfectly good job to go freelance in 2021, the answer is so I could finish my novel & find a publisher - which I’m proud to say I have done! The ebook is available NOW and the paperback is out 08/11. You can pre-order and get more deets 👇

Great to be here for the feedback from the #Birmingham #Poverty Truth Commission report launch on behalf of @cofebirmingham . Powerful stuff but great to hear people so positive about the whole experience and excited for change. Looking forward to being part of that change.
