We ask you to retweet and share the following. The PGA continue to call upon government to make the brave decision to give priority for prison workers and prisoners for C19 vaccinations. We are going through some of our darkest times, vaccines are the light at the tunnel end 1/2

Our people are being asked to do the near impossible, but they are scared, tired and alone. More than any other time they need your support to highlight the emotional and physical risks they face. Early vaccinations will make our people safer 2/2

Great to have seen eight of our men graduate as Listeners yesterday 👏🎓 Thanks to Samaritans for training these guys in incredible skills that will no doubt save lives in future, and to the men themselves for taking on this role that makes such a difference👂💚

Ron Hitchins died in 2019 aged 98. He was a Chinese Lithuanian East Ender, who worked as a tailor, a coal miner, a flamenco dancer, & an abstract sculptor & ceramicist. His estate is selling off the contents of his house in Hackney - the photos of which are completely divine.

Really excited about this project. Such a great opportunity for our men to gain valuable experience in hospitality The Right Course Novus LEAP 🍽👨‍🍳💡 #MakingPositiveChoices
