Wisdom 2 - Systems that aren’t accessible to whole communities. "The system treats people as a standardised group, providing generic service offers and applying blanket policies. This means many people go unseen and have their voices muted." newsystemalliance.org/wisdom-from-th… #NewSystemAlly

I wonder if they fact-checked this with 'Dan' before they went to print. 'Dan do you have any friends? No, great that'll get us some more ££!'. #NewSystemAlly

You can't change the system overnight, but you can change the way you behave and work. You can change the way you think - change starts with individuals, it starts with you newsystemalliance.org #NewSystemAlly #SystemsChange

Boom! Now that is the question...do I coach the people I walk alongside or do I coach the system!? #NewSystemAlly

👏👏👏

Boom! Day 3 system alliance, what a start from Joe Cook “we need an epidemic of empathy” #NewSystemAlly

I think this has been my favourite session so far. I'm fascinated by the topic of language and the power it has and the power it can hold over people. A long way to go but a fantastic start to addressing the issues language can bring. New System Alliance Platfform

Yep, it is as simple as that! 👇

That's brilliant...When you hear it in this context, really hit home just how ridiculous it all sounds! #NewSystemAlly

Totally! We need to embrace the change, be comfortable with it and recognise where the true problem lies #NewSystemAlly

Wow. What an amazing week of conversation, passion, challenge, frustration and energy with the New System Alliance launch. Thank you to everyone who came along. I'm overwhelmed and exhausted- time to digest and & have a gin. Join us all as an Ally here: newsystemalliance.org/new-system-all…

👏👏👏

This has been a tough year, especially for those who live on their own. Make sure to #LookOutForEachOther and be a #camerado. It doesn't take much, just a good cuppa, a chat and #BeMoreHuman. (P.s you can pick up one of these mugs from our webshop).

10 years ago we stopped and listened. What we heard was captured through Wisdom from the Street - thank you to David Breakspear for putting this together and sharing it with us. Music Art of silence by Uniq. maydaytrust.org.uk/wisdom-from-th…

So, what's next? Honest answer; we want to figure that out with you! The New System Alliance is new to all of us. We don’t have the answers or a solution. Instead, we are taking the time to listen. Join as a #NewSystemAlly and get in touch newsystemalliance.org/new-system-all…

Welcome back to your kitchen tables. 2021 is gearing up to be a big one. Everyone Mayday Trust is getting very excited for #influencingthroughdoing and starting to showcase what all of the #listening and #learning really translates to...#keepwatching

Still nursing a "We all saw that right?!" feeling about yesterday's weird reaction by law enforcement in Washington, in contrast to their response to #BLM last year. What useful constructive thing can I do with this outrage? #WhitePrivilegedAndQuiteCross

If we are viewing, speaking about, defining & labelling someone as having support needs, then we have already lost sight of a person led & strengths based approach #systemchange Mayday Trust

In his latest blog Andy Durman explores why it’s so important that we start seeing tough times differently if we want to create positive change #PTS #NewSystemAlly maydaytrust.org.uk/solving-the-wr…

In those tough times when we have reached out for help from 'services'. I wonder how often people have left feeling like they've had a 1) conversation and been listened to OR 2) been through an interrogation and been judged. 1 way works, 1 way doesn't. It's not complicated
