Brummie down South. Head of Marketing & Comms @Power2Org, previously @GoodThingsFdn. Striving to elevate the voices of systemically excluded people. She/Her.
Not that anyone should need to be convinced on why shopping from independent bookshops (or secondhand) is always better than buying Amazon, but receiving Isaac and the Egg tied in a lovely bow has me sold.
It came with a cute personalised note too!
Thank you @bertsbooks
Far-right violence hasn’t come out of nowhere.
It is the result of anti-migrant rhetoric from mainstream politicians who scapegoat refugees.
We are an anti-racist movement that believes in a more inclusive world. We defeated the far right before. We will defeat them again.
.@BBC insisting on reporting racist rioters as 'protestors' and 'demonstrators' is a gross misrepresentation of the violence impacting communities of colour across the UK. Language matters.
When politicians demonise migrants, the far right listen.
When they say refugees should be “sent back to where they came from”, the far right listen.
When they complain about asylum seekers staying in hotels, the far right listen.
Let’s promote a message of unity instead.
One that tackles the issues facing us all: the housing crisis, the collapse of our NHS and the disaster of privatisation.
One that gives hope to all communities that a fairer society is possible.
Stand up to racism. Defend refugees. Inspire belief in a better world. That is how you defeat the far right once and for all.
Today we launch our new Impact Report highlighting the difference we've made.
It's been a year of significant growth, with more programmes delivered, more partnership working, and - most importantly - more children and young people reached through our interventions.

Our Teens and Toddlers programme creates a safe space for boys to show a softer side in a way they often can’t in other settings. This was true for Leon, aged 14, who struggled to express himself which would sometimes present itself as acting out in class.

This could not be more timely. An absolutely beautiful video about Coming Home, a new counselling service by @Maslaha which takes a grassroots, community-led, healing-centred and political approach to Muslim mental health. It’s so rare to see interventions like this. 🤎

Really pleased to see this, I used to use StreetLink an awful lot when I lived in Sheffield - and in the current economic climate, many more people sadly don't have a safe place to sleep.
Why is a home something a person has to 'earn' and not a basic human right?

To anyone feeling suicidal,
It’s overwhelming, it’s frightening. Yet, you’re still here. You’ve picked yourself up time and time again, and you can make it through again. Your life is worth fighting for. Nothing will ever change this.

Every day women are abused online. It is incredibly worrying to hear that X may be removing the block feature, which, for many women and girls, provides vital protection. Whatever replaces it must be a step forward for online safety, not a step back. https://t.co/vczTqDdDJ4

The number of young people undergoing treatment or waiting to start care in CAMHS reached 466,250 in May. The highest number on record. These young people could fill Wembley Stadium, five times over.
@RishiSunak, this is an emergency.
