It was wonderful to read again about the wonderful night we had 9 years ago with @Let_Yourself with @martyn_joseph & @WhisperingBob joining @seanstillman667 and the crew at @ZacsPlace — we’re still here doing what we do and so are they. #CommunityMatters

Our Sean shares something of his #Parkinsons journey over recent years for @BBCRadioWales

“.. a searingly honest insight into a life that's been turned upside down since his diagnosis”

We hope it’s an encouragement 👇🏻

Sean Stillman is a minister in Swansea, working on homeless outreach. He's also president of a Christian motorcycle club.

Three years ago, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's.

In a special All Things Considered, he shares his story in his own words, interviews and audio diaries.

Thank you @crisis_uk and each signatory for taking this stand - you will have the support of many grass roots organisations, charities, care practitioners & community groups similarly horrified by @SuellaBraverman and this government’s draconian intentions towards the vulnerable

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

We've written an open letter to the Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman alongside 14 other organisations including @centrepointuk @CIHhousing & @StMungos. https://t.co/DxFhd6yBDh

[Zac's Place Swansea @ZacsPlace]

How @Shelter respond to @SuellaBraverman below is something we would whole heartedly endorse - these gov policies & attitudes do nothing but add trauma to people who are already living with multiple traumas. Woe to those in power who ignore the needs of the poor & vulnerable.

[Zac's Place Swansea @ZacsPlace]

These findings resonate with our lived experience - we have seen this rise in destitution - we see the faces behind the figures, we see the imbalance of priorities from those who have the power to make an obscene profit or to see no one gets left behind. #DontIgnoreDestitution

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

Destitution is when people cannot afford to meet their most basic physical needs to stay warm, dry, clean and fed.

Our new report reveals a shameful rise in the number of people experiencing destitution in the UK.

Here are the key findings 🧵
