This book is underpins my political views and why I do the research I do- we are all happier and healthier if living in a more equal society- it is a statistical not just a moral argument Heartbreaking that the UK is more unequal now than in the 1930s.

@kerrynhusk Best are the ones where people say they will delete all emails on return and you are to resend the email when they are back if its still relevant. I think you need to be fairly established in one's career for that out of office!

[Alexis K Foster @LexiKF]

What a really good take on the realities of co-production. Certainly going to think about this terminology going forward.

Amazing work by Saada (one of our Health and Wellbeing Workers) and two of our volunteers, taking 25 local people to Chatsworth Cottage Garden today as part of our #GreenSocialPrescribing programme. It's really helped with feelings of isolation, stress and low mood. 💚
