It really felt like a ‘back to school’ this week as @rockchoir_rob kicked off the autumn term. So nice to see so many familiar faces back together, ready to sing & have fun 🤩!

We’ve started the term learning ‘September’ by Earth, Wind & Fire 🌎💨🔥- how uplifting!

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and this year’s theme is community.

Started my week singing with @rockchoir_rob - a space full of joy, support & connection. We thrive in safe, positive communities that remind us we’re not alone.

Attended a Blood Bourne Virus #HepC workshop today by @Waythrough_UK

Powerful reminder that hepatitis C is curable - but not 4 everyone, yet.
Stigma, inequality & lack of access are still barriers to overcome.

Yesterday we launched ‘Shared Experiences’ - a powerful poetry collection by our residents at @tynehousing . These voices tell stories of resilience, growth & hope.

Huge thanks 🙏🏼 to our poets, our incredible staff, partners & everyone who helps create space for people to thrive

Had a great day out in #Newcastle! Kicked things off with a surprise flash mob with @rockchoir_rob (so much fun!), followed by a delicious 😋 #seafood 🍤 🐟 🦪 lunch at @SaltWaterFishCo with @petertopping & some retail therapy. Good vibes all around!

Today @tynehousing celebrated #InternationalWomensDay with @wishnortheast

We shared our thoughts on acceleration - enablers & barriers. A perfect time to reflect on my own journey from an International Educated Staff Nurse to an Executive / Board Nurse.

Attended a powerful @OHID networking event today on continuity of care in drug & alcohol recovery for people leaving prison.

The inspiring story from a service user reminded us why this work is so vital. Change is possible with the right support!

On my way 🚘 to the gym and paused my journey to capture the magic of snowy landscapes of Weardale valley.

Some moments are too just beautiful to pass by. ❄️📸

Out 🚘 and about visiting the three Recovery Centres in Co Durham.

Enjoyed talking to the dedicated staff @Waythrough_UK & grateful for all they do to support recovery and hope.

A big thankyou🙏🏼to Andy, Jane & Vicky for showing me around.

Nothing like waking up to a winter wonderland! The whole village is blanketed in snow. The crisp air, the soft silence & the glistening white - pure magic! ❄️☃️

But I recognise the weather is not good news for many vulnerable people , so please take care & keep warm!
