@CoolyCumber Congratulations!

[Levitate Student @Levitatestudent]

Can't beleive @beccablandish founder of @StandAloneHE will be leaving the helm of the charity. What a legacy she leaves behind though! Made such a difference to #students #estranged from their families & others. Made HE sector sit up, take notice, take action, & provide support.

@beccablandish @StandAloneHE @UKStandAlone Becca, you have been a powerhouse and inspiring leader for StandAlone and I'm sure more great things lie in front of you too. It was always a pleasure to work with you.

"We can always love people and have compassion for their struggles, but we can't always be close to damaging behaviours if we are to be healthy and functioning ourselves."

Wishing you all the best on the next part of your journey @beccablandish ...

2/2 Yet hard to see the @theSNP have decided to burden the most vulnerable students in this cost of living crisis with more debt. Estranged students deserve no worse treatment than care experienced students. Yet they are getting it.

[Dr Becca Bland @beccablandish]

1/2 Really pleased to see success for @NUSScotland’s campaign on more financial support for Scottish students. £900 increase in funds into students pockets is very welcome.

Really pleased for @UKStandAlone to be featured in @Cosmopolitan today. A rare focus on how LGBT+ young people are more vulnerable to family breakdown too. What it means to be estranged from your family - https://t.co/M4VaUsdLon - https://t.co/r4JLRj2n5a #GoogleAlerts
