Reading my notes for our session at #CiviCon24 with a 😢 this morning as I’m too ill to go. BUT @FolusoAbigail_@RealistBev@serviceatkings@SLondonCitizens will be there. Hope folk are ready to hear how unis can best win change by thinking about the *people* within the *place*
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year 🍾🍾 Praying 2024 brings us hope, impactful changes that make our lives better. That we’re surrounded by positive people, those who will uplift us when faced with challenges, but most of all that we’re surrounded by love through it all. 🎉
