Favourite talks @MandHShow today were from @JodieMLees about the fantastic @Sudbury_HallNT and @vickyryves about Resilient Wellbeing Community Programmes and her work in Doncaster. Both talked so passionately and inspiringly about their work.

I also got to meet a dinosaur!

Any RTs for a great piece of work getting children involved in collecting! @covidsitor @Freedom_youth14 @LuckJ1978 @DanielPoole87 @UoDHistory @LottieDerry @MossleyMatters @beatfreeks @SudburyGasworks

[Jodie Lees @JodieMLees]

This is such a great interview led by Mo. Even I got to learn much more about our collection. My favourite bit is her surprise of how old some of the objects are! Well done Mo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[Jodie Lees @JodieMLees]

This portrait has been one of my favourites since joining @nationaltrust in October. Goldie’s interpretation has deepened my connection to the piece. It has a beautiful simplisticity about it that also conveys so much! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
