This #VolunteersWeek, want to say a huge THANK YOU to our past and present incredible volunteer bereavement #counsellors, clinical #supervisors, #chaplains@SFHUK 💛 You give your time, compassion, your heart often quietly without fanfare -the impact you have is beyond words.
You’ve changed lives. You’ve walked with people through grief. You’ve held space for healing. Many of you stay on after your training because you believe in what we do. And we wouldn’t be where we are today without you.
I am not sure this is so much a documentary, as it is evidence, a confession even, by those in Israel who are openly practising colonialism, land theft & apartheid. While the world watches on, impotently.
An absolute must-watch, and another masterclass by @louistheroux and team.

Let’s show why #TheCultureOfDyingMatters.
Five Journalists from the Al-Quds Today channel have been killed by an Israeli military strike on their broadcasting van, parked outside of a hospital in Gaza.
Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.
We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.
This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.
At least a dozen more children in Gaza have been reportedly killed in recent airstrikes, including on so-called “safe zones”, schools-turned-shelters, and hospitals attacked.
This suffering needs to end. Every delay in action will cost more lives of children.
Ceasefire NOW.
At least 15 Palestinians killed after Israeli forces stormed a Gaza school sheltering displaced people, sources have told Al Jazeera https://t.co/zoaevRC3Zc
Footage shared early on Monday shows hundreds of Palestinians being rounded up by Israeli forces and forcibly displaced from northern Gaza to the south.
Online commentators described the footage as a “death march”.
Keir Starmer is so humbled by their immeasurable grief that he will keep supplying weapons - and components for F35 jets to slaughter more Palestinians.
So humbled he’ll refuse to impose sanctions, or even call out war crimes.
So humbled he’ll remain complicit in genocide.
In Parliament today, I asked what action was being taken by the government to demonstrate the UK's strong objection to the ethnic cleansing and annexation of Northern Gaza.
