Today marks ten years since Jo was killed.

We remember Jo as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend, campaigner and public servant. We remember her courage, her compassion, and her belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.

Our Government will work with our charities, volunteers and community groups - not against them.

What David says ▶️▶️
@theresa_may leadership on tackling #loneliness is and was ground breaking. The progress made over last five years has been enormous and, I discovered at OECD this week, genuinely world leading.

[Nancy Hey @Work_Life_You]

All our learning from the last ten years on social connections and tackling loneliness

[RHerdman @r_herdman]

@WhatWorksWB I’m so sorry to hear this. The Centre was excellent to work with and the small team includes some real stars. Wishing all the best to everyone affected, especially @Work_Life_You & @RobinHewings who I worked most closely with.
