We had a brilliant workshop this evening, led by Ron Wiener. Lots of interesting discussion and catharsis found in enacting parts of our dysfunctional society

For the 2nd time in a week I've heard a child express fear about being sent to Rwanda at 18 😢
Children who've already experienced unimaginable trauma and loss, and who suffer significant mental health issues as a consequence.
Come and spend a week in my job @SuellaBraverman?

** we have used some bars and pubs but found them to be too noisy for meaningful discussion. if anyone knows of a venue with a free to hire function room this may work!

[Psychologists for Social Change Leeds @PscLeeds]

Can anyone help us find a meeting space? We need somewhere:
✅ Free
✅ Accessible (for wheelchair users, and by public transport)
✅ Available approx 7-9pm on Wednesdays, monthly
We've hopped around a few places but need somewhere for the longer term..

We are meeting tomorrow on Zoom!

Rough agenda:
- Feedback from the Community Psychology Celebration Day including Ron's sociodrama workshop and availability of community psychology placements
- Feedback from meeting with @LeedsMoneyBuddy and planning our support offer

[Psychologists for Social Change Leeds @PscLeeds]

A fantastic local organisation ‘Surplus to Purpose’ sells food about to go off or otherwise discarded from supermarkets for £12 a crate or £6 half crate. Absolutely fantastic for those in need or just wanting to help the environment! https://t.co/dGWVHT0Kzd

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

It’s time to say #EnoughlsEnough

This Saturday, October 1st, we’ll be protesting in 50 cities and towns across Britain:

For pay rises, against the energy rip-off, to end food poverty – and to say no to handouts for the rich.

RT to spread the word 👊
