@Bonn1eGreer @WessexMuseums My pleasure! I found it incredibly moving how the local Wiltshire community welcomed & supported them. Please do visit, it's worth the journey! Co-curated by @HammettAmy with the local community & @Blackpoppyrose 🥰

Hampshire Country Council have opened a consultation on what areas they should cut their services to 1.4 million residents, to ensure they meet their £132 million shortfall by April 2025 - following years of austerity cuts.

The options are pretty grim😢

Gaspar Yanga was a liberator and one of Mexico’s heroes, enslaved from West Africa. He fought for the abolition of slavery in Mexico. He was known as “America’s First Liberator” or “El Primer Libertador de las Americas.”

The town of Yanga, Mexico is named after him.

I have written an article for @thetimes in response to the new draft menopause guidelines from NICE. They are a step backwards for women.

CBT may have a place when taking a holistic approach to managing the perimenopause, but it won’t improve every menopause symptom and won’t treat the underlying hormone deficiency.

Women deserve to have a choice and if they want to take HRT they should be allowed to. It is about time women are heard and their symptoms and future health is taken seriously.

Can you imagine a newspaper in 2019 running with ‘Jeremy Corbyn doesn’t need Jewish votes anyway’?

We have a few spaces left on our upcoming course with @wessexarch and local artist Emma Kerr.

This course will combine creative walks to explore heritage, nature and outdoor landscapes, as well as looking at archaeological artefacts.

@Haggis_UK It's hard to think of a more grotesque example of 'punching down' than trying to unsettle vulnerable children.

POV: You’re a station I’m trying to use and I need to buy the 50% wheelchair discount, but I can’t because the ticket office is closed and TVMs don’t sell them.
