🥳 Huge congratulations to Bilvilyn Asamoah, 13, and Paul Frimpong, 14, who have been elected as Lewisham's newest Young Mayor and Deputy Young Mayor respectively.
Well done to our fantastic candidates and thank you to the 9,485 young people who voted! 🗳️
So proud to officially launch our With Women in Mind collective at the @NPGLondon last week. An honour to announce our amazing new With Women in Mind ambassadors @emiliaclarke and @lenadunham 💙💙💙 @MindCharity
1/4 This has been the cliff edge we have as charities lived for such a long time. The commissioning environment both reliant & yet dismissive of Charity delivery & costs. The wrangles I have had with funders over the years about funding services properly https://t.co/1Udnh0muDw
We kept this quiet at the time, but when Laura was first having treatment in Germany for #BrainCancer Bill Kenwright donated £50k to make it possible.
No fuss, no publicity, just genuine kindness from a real gentleman & a true blue.
Rest in peace Bill & thank you.
#Everton 💙💙💙
Just finished listening to the brilliant @whosgottheballs podcast series. What a great mixture of insight into the world of a female football coach as well as reflections on topics such as mental health and parental behaviours on the sidelines. Looking forward to series 2!
Where's Billy? 👀
Billy - the Mental Health Bill the UK govt promised to deliver.
We’ve waited too long for reforms to the 40-year-old Mental Health Act - reforms that will give people more say in their treatment and strengthen their rights while in mental health hospital. 1/2
The 15 yr old grandson of my former boss, and dear friend Fiona, has gone missing. If you’re in the Birmingham area please share so we can find Theo & bring him back to his family & to safety 🙏🏼
Interested? Come and work alongside me and all my wonderful colleagues to help save lives and stop economic abuse forever. @SEAresource @nicolajanesharp @helenliles
This is a feature, not a bug - what’s unusual is being so honest and self aware about this preference.
Networks & senior sponsorship play a huge role in professional careers, invariably driven by shared background.
People just don’t normally say this out loud.
So, The PM made some announcements at the Conservative party conference yesterday. He seems to have forgotten about mental health 🤔
Strange, because we're in a mental health crisis that the UK govt doesn't seem to be taking seriously.
Let's break it down⬇️ 1/6
There’s a large number of people out there, of which I’m one, who didn’t get to have final birthdays with loved ones, care for them at end of life or say final goodbyes. Those people will be struggling to watch #Partygate tonight
We all know there is a direct correlation between benefit sanctions & catastrophic risk to people & families. This is not the time to punish, it’s time to invest in the things that create good physical & mental health - that means a fit for purpose welfare system.
