I’m shocked, terribly sad. Jim wrote to me just over a month ago about his illness, but he was fighting, looking forward to the release of a new book. It’s impossible to express what his work and friendship meant to me in recent years. Everything he wrote lives on and will grow.

@skyarker @SalfordUni Have a fabulous time, Sophie!! It’s been wonderful working with you and you will be so missed.

[UoM School of Social Sciences @uomsoss]

Researchers from @MUARG1 have spent the last 18 months examining how faith spaces in @greatermcr support diverse groups of older people within their communities

"They found that faith spaces provide spiritual wellbeing, belonging + a sense of community"

"confirmed my belief in humanity", reflection from one of the co-production collaborators. Brilliant work led by @lutilang and @skyarker. Being part of the project has given me me new perspectives on faith, community and collaboration. Lots of food for thought.
