@DrSarahAllstaff @becksmetcalfe @BrawleyDaniela @LauraJa70798432 @CunninghamCiara@TeoWinterAndy@BASHH_UK Thanks for the tip. Used to see quite a few guys in London in the eighties who left their families to join a new community. They were the uncles and brothers and sons that nobody at home spoke about anymore.
Congratulations @profchloeorkin on your MBE!
A fitting acknowledgment of everything you’ve achieved so far and continue to do.
You are an example to us all. Proud to call you my friend!
How wonderful to see all your achievements listed here!
