Founder & CEO @HeardOrg. Sparking stories that create change.

We worked with the team behind the no 1 Netflix doc "A British Horror Story" about Jimmy Savile. Here is why we think this programme works to deepen our understanding about sexual abuse, grooming and our role as bystanders. Huge 👏 to the @Angles_project network & @chiaravare.

[Heard @HeardOrg]

How we tell stories - and who gets to tell them - matters.

On the face of it new @Netflix documentary A British Horror Story is all about Jimmy Savile.

[All About Trans @AllAboutTrans]

Ahead of London trans pride & following an incredible @TPrideBrighton we're sharing some of the amazing things our brilliant members have been up to.

Podcasts, panels & everything in-between, we're always inspired by their phenomenal work, and couldn't be prouder of them 🏳️‍⚧️💕

[Kevin Smith @kevinjgsmith]

I don't say this lightly. As a gay person who was very conscious of my difference from a very young age, the "culture of silence" that I experienced, that this Labour MP is proposing, was an incredibly traumatic and damaging experience.

[Jeremy Evans @JeremyNEvans]

This has been a weird, at times absurd, election. But behind the scenes, civic tech volunteers are working day and night to improve the state of democracy in the UK. Really delighted to have been able to work with one of the best examples of civic tech: @voteforpolicies 1/8

📢Stop defending children's palliative care #CPC & start championing it🙌

One of the fab takeaways from our keynote at @TheAPPMuk Nurses' Networking & Education Day last week.

Brilliant to get everyone thinking about how to collectively shift the narrative on CPC💫

[All About Trans @AllAboutTrans]

"We’re currently living through one of the most hostile periods for trans people in the 21st century. But on screen, across all genres, all roles, and all networks, transgender stars are beginning to flourish".

👇 Stigma is a powerful force that holds poverty in place.

It enables and exacerbates inequalities. Loosening stigma's grip is a key lever of social change.

🔎 New JRF analysis using participatory, power-sharing approaches looks at poverty stigma and the actions needed 🧵(1/5)

[Sarah Campbell @SarahJCampbll]

Last year we embarked on an exploration into Stigma and Poverty taking a participatory and power sharing approach to redefining the problem and working up priority areas for action and investment.

We love exloring how our #climate communication principles can be applied in creative new ways.

🤣 A while back, we spoke with comedian @jessicafostekew on how to frame the climate crisis in comedy.

Jessica updated us with some amazing news this week...

Drop what you're doing, and read the best piece on the Cass review, by @freddymcconnell:

"Hilary Cass’s proposals are mostly common sense. She must reject anti-trans bias with the same clarity."
