Thanks @howies_way from @LS14Trust for delivering the workshop on 'How can your organisation think in an asset based way?' to ABCD Pathfinder Managers in Leeds. "We can't control the direction of communities, we hold the space, that's when the exciting stuff happens!" #ABCDLeeds

I wonder if lockdown has changed personal hygiene habits? Supporting people who don't like to wash is a delicate matter. I just added another snippet to "Vile Bodies: understanding the neglect of personal hygiene in a sterile society." See it at https://t.co/zUzYk00BMp

I look at my mum’s old house on Google maps street view, the house where I grew up. It says ‘Image captured May 2009’. There is a light on in her bedroom. It is still her house, she is still alive, I am still visiting every few months on the train to Bodmin Parkway,

When a community cares enough to act collectively - institutions are obliged to listen #KenmureStreet #thisisinclusion If you ever questioned the power of communities banding together compared to the mighty hand of institutions, here’s your answer:

[#ANDYSMANCLUB @andysmanclubuk]

Our 5 year goal was to have 10 groups for men to talk...

Seemed such a huge goal at the time.

A month away from being 5 years old...

We are set to open out 50th group.

Its been one hell of a journey.

I still believe...

We just getting started.

There is still time to sign up for tonights BASW students meeting where @swshorts, myself and other student will be talking about mental health and self care..
Am very nervous.

[Cormac Russell @CormacRussell]

Local organizations, -embedded within a community, small scale, staffed by local ppl; where the vision is cocreated & the effort is shared-provide a critical & irreplaceable vector for *care* & support in & by the community. Scale matters, small & local is the alternative future.

[Carrie Carlisle @clarkeandcarrie]

We are truly in awe of tremendous service to men that is @andysmanclubuk if anyone deserves recognition this week so focussed on Mental Health, then it is them.

It was nice to switch-up my repertoire today and re-visit my ideas on ‘Social Work & the media’ with 45 students at @SocialWorkNTU! 🤓👌🏾👌🏻👌

Meghan announces she’s pregnant, it’s front page, we get think pieces. Matt Hancock, the country’s Public Health Secretary has been found to have been acting unlawful with the pandemic contracts and there’s no country wide outrage. A country with 120K COVID deaths. Just wow.

I can count on one hand the times I’ve seen pangolin in the wild. Yet in one drive in Central Africa we saw dozens destined for traditional medicine. To mark #worldpangolinday find out what you can do to help; including protecting the forests they call home. @worldlandtrust
