@romankemp Support 4 Sunflowers is the charity that supports @Sunflowers_Care based in Cambridgeshire. We care for children with complex healthcare and life-limiting needs in a ‘home from home’ environment. We are the only children’s home of its kind in the UK.

@CambsCC just tried to report icy and dangerous road conditions and request the road be gritted, to be informed it’s a police matter. @CambsCops say its nothing to do with them unless there is a collision! Lets hope no one ploughs through the barriers on to the A14 below!!

To put in context multi millionaire Nadhim Zahawi threatening nurses & ambulance paramedics with bringing in soldiers to break their strike, it’s worth remembering his expenses claim which included heating his horses’ stables was more than a nurse on starting pay is asking for.

In April 2022 I was an NHS nurse in a really bad place:

• Experiencing flashbacks
• Feeling unable to cope
• Having nightmares
• Extremely anxious

3 months on, I'm a completely different person.

• I'm kinder
• I have clarity
• I prioritise myself

Here's what I learned:
