People seeking asylum have become the scapegoat for the discontent in western societies. They are not the reason why there is no affordable housing in your town, or why you can't pay your energy bills. We are stronger when we unite. No amount of blame will solve your problems.

[Joshua Coombes @joshuaacoombes]

Homelessness is something we see every day. It’s part of the backdrop of the cities we live in, but there’s nothing normal about it. Suffering is part of life, but to be isolated and alone in our pain, with no community, is not something that humans are not designed to withstand.

@OfficialECFC @OUFCOfficial are there still away tickets available to purchase on the door at the ground for todays game? Thanks

Fear keeps us locked in the lowest expression of our being. Love doesn’t mean giving everything you have away, or compromising healthy boundaries, it’s a state to access our authentic self, underneath our conditioning.

If you view the world only
through eyes of newspapers and mainstream media, it’s easy to become paralysed with anxiety and fear. Choosing love isn’t about free hugs or flowers. It’s reclaiming your power. It’s strength. It can unify people in spite of our differences.

When you see someone living on the street, be kind. Life is hard enough. Don’t kick people when they are down.

Let’s tell it like it is. The UK government are sending black and brown people to Rwanda, whilst encouraging their citizens to open their hearts and doors to Ukrainians. Racism is alive and well, as is the magic money tree.

BREAKING: Boris Johnson is looking at a second £50 fine for attending his aide's leaving do. Meanwhile, people who only broke the law that he introduced once were fined £10,000. That's one hell of a double standard x

Our obsession with celebrities feels more problematic than the incident at the Oscars between Will Smith and Chris Rock. We live in a culture that awards people who pretend to be heroes on screen, instead of those working 60 hours a week on minimum wage trying to raise a family.

@TessLucas6 @edwong010 Thanks, Eddie!

A collection of short powerful individual stories @joshuaacoombes Challenging the stigma of homelessness. A must read!

[Joshua Coombes @joshuaacoombes]

Demonising those who use drugs to numb trauma or synthesise a connection that’s missing in their life is something we have to evolve past. We see the sharp end of addiction on the streets in the form of needles & crack pipes but addiction plays out in so many ways across society.

To choose to give the benefit of the doubt to other people until they prove us otherwise. To form our own views, beliefs, and learnings, based on our actual experiences, rather than the opinions of others rubbing off on us.

[Joshua Coombes @joshuaacoombes]

While a smile may not heal trauma, or mend the heart of someone who’s been kicked around since the day they came into this world, I believe it’s one of the most powerful choices we make each day. To be aware of how we interact with those around us.
