If you'd like to attend please get in touch for the zoom link, it'd be lovely to see some new faces :)

[Psychologists for Social Change Yorkshire @PSCYorks]

It's our monthly meeting tomorrow night (over zoom of course). We're planning to discuss a letter we co-wrote with local community groups regarding concerns about the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers in Sheffield as we're meeting with local MPs and councillors next week

[Psychologists for Social Change Yorkshire @PSCYorks]

We also hope to speak about the SIM model as we're aware its being used in some of our local trusts. We categorically stand against its use and are grateful for the work of @StopSIMMH and many others

Attended a really good training at UCL today on Whiteness and White Fragility @UCL_DClinPsy . They shared the image below, of which I'd only previously seen the two central panels. Added panels really useful.

[Sheffield Against Asylum Evictions @SheffNoEviction]

We are angered although not at all surprised at this announcement. This is exactly why we've been building as a group and we, alongside @SYMAAG and many other friends in our community will do whatever we can to resist these together. People of Sheffield get involved!

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

If no one is surprised when American billionaire corporations buy football clubs to maximise profit regardless of fans, then stop & think about their intentions with our NHS and patient care.

[Sheffield Litter Pickers @SheffLitterPick]

Sunny Saturday! Action in every corner of the great steel city of #Sheffield today 🦾 😎 Great spirit, everywhere. #litter #community #nature

[Hackenthorpe Litter Pickers🍃💚🍃 @HackenthorpeP]

Kath, lady in her 60’s litter picks these shops daily at 5.30am. She couldn’t do today so I went. Shame on customers/businesses/councils. Where’s the pride? #litter @KeepBritainTidy @SheffLitterPick @SheffCouncil @SheffieldStar @BBCSheffield

Important thread 👇

[Aarón Cantú @aaron_con_choco]

I think we’re beyond the “raise awareness” phase of practically every significant social issue.

[Katie Pennick @KatiePennick]

I popped down to Soho today.

An already notoriously difficult area (for its lack of dropped kerbs) has been made trickier with outdoor seating blocking pavements.

I support the hospitality sector and understand the need for outdoor seats, but please leave room for wheelies!
