Thanks Katie. Kind words. Come back next year and do it all again ❤️

At the most senior levels perhaps it time for social housing leaders to do the same. Except it’s been 40 years. Police chiefs admit failures on diversity 21 years after pledge | Police | The Guardian theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/j…

The social housing sector made commitments too at the same time to dispel institutional racism

"Three years ago the social housing sector launched concerted diversity campaigns led by the sector’s journals with regular features, conferences, and social media campaigns. The fire has died down." How does #ukhousing get back on track with diversity? hqnetwork.co.uk/news/opinion-h…

Forty years ago people took to the streets to protest against racism, poverty and inequality. This government has created more inequality and poverty than any other in recent years. It has also encouraged racism by its words and deeds. Yet there are no protests. I wonder why?
