Building a sense of belonging is an act of leadership. It creates the conditions for people around us to feel supported & valued & to thrive. Even small moments of connection or reflection can have a big impact on people's sense of belonging. Geoff Cohen, author of "Belonging:

I took this photo today. I will see it differently to you all. I see three little boys with the fourth missing. The gap is obvious to me, I see it in every picture I take. But this one is especially poignant, as it’s taken on a memorial bench for a little boy, Jude, who died in

The image of that little sad face will keep me awake all night tonight - knowing that I could have done better. Should have done better. Wishing I’d been more patient, more tolerant, less angry. Today has been HARD. I’ve failed as a parent, failed as a wife, failed as a student.

Final assignment submitted. Last placement starts tomorrow, and then it’s all going to get very real in 15 weeks. The days may be long, but the weeks have been short, and the months…where did they go?! It’s been one huge rollercoaster and I don’t think the ride is near over.

Thank you to Sporting Bears for an absolutely incredible day at Aintree Racecourse today. My boys and I really needed an adrenaline fuelled pick-me-up, and this certainly did that! Without Claire House we would be alone in our existential grief. Thank you for giving us opportunities

We need to be so careful about the unintended consequences of the policies that we create. I wrote this on 100% attendance ages ago but I think it's topical atm.

I’m sharing this back-to-school pic of my boys with some caution…I’m mindful that this can be hard for those who don’t get to share this moment, as their little ones are no longer with us. While we celebrate the milestones we have, we mark the missed ones always. Sending love to

What an amazing day as part of the Claire House team at Peel L&P Dragon Boat races today. Even drinking dock water didn’t put me off how much fun it was! Well done to all involved, what an amazing fundraiser and a huge £32K+ raised. Everyone should be really proud of themselves

Today, I finished the first week of my final placement as a student nurse. This one, along with my most recent one are the only placements I’ve had where I’m not just known as ‘the student’. Where I’m called by my first name. Where I’m included and expected. Where I’m listened
