@Alison_Inman @yourcolchester @wheatley_martin @GregFalvey @ChloeALMOs Is this even possible 🤔

[Michelle Baker @WorkAroundMum]

@mr_andyjohnson Thank you, I loved having the opportunity to share my thoughts 😊

“Stop being defensive – create a culture of learning and accountability.” 👊🎤

@WorkAroundMum discussed how housing providers can improve & develop their communication with residents to build a more trusting relationship at @insidehousing's Communications Conference yesterday.

@Alison_Inman @andysmanclubuk @BickhamVivien Yups, all very exciting stuff going on 😊

[Michelle Baker @WorkAroundMum]

Time to rethink our education system! Eli's school report highlights the struggle children face. Let's set realistic goals they can achieve and break free from societal norms that disadvantage and discourage them. #InclusiveEducation #EmpowerEveryChild #VisuallyImpaired #Equity

Last chance to sponsor something awesome. Darren and Eli are running 10k to raise funds for @andysmanclubuk Eli is visually impaired and Darren's just unfit 😂 let's get them to their £500 target.

Can we please stop using images of carers sitting and having a chat and start using images that show the reality of unpaid care. #RealCarersWeek

[Michelle Baker @WorkAroundMum]

@dannysmiff33 Thank you, he is devastated too but pulling through for the cause. We are taking a motorbike ride to Leigh-on-sea today to remember him. Here is a picture of Darren, my husband and our son from knelt a few weeks ago. We were so privileged to know him.

[Michelle Baker @WorkAroundMum]

@dannysmiff33 So devastated to hear this last week. Is there anywhere we can lay flowers? He had a profound impact on my husband and I owe him a lot. X

[Michelle Baker @WorkAroundMum]

Devastated. #itsokaytotalk #andysmanclub

[Danny smith @dannysmiff33]

It is with great sadness I write this, my cousin Darren Smith took his own life yesterday.

He was a great supporter of mental health charities, most notably setting up @andysmanclubuk in locations across Essex.

Sadly, despite helping so many, he lost his own…

Parenting hack of the day. 6 year old - 'I don't like the burnt bits on my fishfingers' Me - 'They aren't burnt, it's tiger fish, you know like tiger bread, you love that'. continues eating.... One day this may come back on me 😂

[Michelle Baker @WorkAroundMum]

@AsdaServiceTeam my local community are trying to make use of your grant fund for investing in community spaces. Because our the Chelmsford branch doesn't have a community champion in post, we can't make an application. It's sad to know money for our community will go to waste.

[Michelle Baker @WorkAroundMum]

Really looking forward to sharing some of the work we've been doing and my top tips and tricks for getting a diverse group of residents engaged and then growing it. Any opportunity to chat about my tenant takeover plan 😁

When your child takes gaming so seriously he gets Alexa to play Ballade in A Minor as his backing track to Lego City Undercover 😂 #APeekIntoMyLife #Sensory #Gaming #Classical #KidsTheseDays
