Community Development Halton is excited to host Sam Moon from Association of Camerados as part of the #cameradocaravan in September! We are planning two public living rooms and a workshop while he’s with us. We were excited to get our public living room in a box delivered the other day!

I posted this a couple of years ago and was reminded of it recently. This is still very true. We hide our pain, but sometimes we forget that other people do it too. Remember that the things people present are usually just the tip of the iceberg.

Last week we shared the findings from our 2023-24 #IMPACTDemonstrator focused on improving the wellbeing of Personal Assistants to disabled people in Scotland Led by Rhiann McLean and Richard Brunner, the project worked with the PA Programme Board (Self Directed Support Scotland)

A Tuesday afternoon reminder that you don’t have to be an expert to support a mate going through a tough time, just being there and the contact from you could be the one thing that could help. So do it now Text, or call support a mate now 👍🏻 #support #mentalhealth #beamate

Thank you 🙏 for all the direct messages of support. It felt very strange posting this publicly & only did so after advice from others. Organisations who treat people so casually badly need a dose of sunlight ☀️ shining on the poor leadership so that it doesn’t happen to others.

Is our role as leaders to be better at managing a broken system or redesign it with communities? The focus on acute pressures & budgets above all else means the system won’t change. 💰 is being continually pumped into the most expensive part of the system while prevention is cut

Our job is to bridge or simply mind the gap between the bureaucracy of our institutional systems and the opportunities in our communities.

What makes change happen? Is it new structures & governance or culture & leadership? In my experience it’s the latter. Creating a new structure isn’t an end in itself. It’s the energy, the buzz of working as a team with a bold humility to build support around people & communities

Leaders are often promoted into positions without essential people skills. They may have longevity, strategic thinking, the right connections but they never say “how are you really doing?” “thank you for everything you’ve done” or “I’m sorry I got that wrong” Leadership is this.

Yo ho me land lubbers it be talk like a Pirate day 🏴‍☠️ #talklikeapirateday

Courageous people trying to do good by speaking truth to power in dysfunctional organisations & systems are often vilified, marginalised, pushed out. They are usually advocates for the citizen. Imagine if they were set loose on system reform & leaders saying “we have your back”

You know, let's not confuse: -Pilavachi chose not to talk publicly with -Pilavachi was denied a voice Like the rest of us, he had Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. In fact, he has much greater reach than everyone else.

When I published my first blog in 2019 I knew language was important, but so many things I’ve written, spoken about, read & heard since then have convinced me that language matters even more than I thought 5 years ago #LanguageMatters #RewritingSocialCare rewritingsocialcare.blog/2024/10/12/why…

I’m seeing so many public servants wanting to work closer with communities, across team boundaries with the person, the family, the community at the centre rather than the silo organisation. How do we remove the barriers? Creating an appetite for radical place leadership is vital

“If you watch ‘Jaws’ backwards it’s actually a really feel-good movie” Today’s top quote from Paula&Maff’s #SpoonRoom #WeAreCamerados Cath Barton @UnstitchedNow Victoria Herriman

Our Mental Health Bill will end the inappropriate use of prison for people in desperate need of psychological care. These reforms will ensure they, and others facing acute mental health problems, get the urgent specialist help they need.

Love how iconic this image has become Sam Moon 🤣💛 Association of Camerados

Forget the Polar Express. How about the #PublicLivingRoom Express? The Rochdale #Camerados were on the right track when they got together and held a #PublicLivingRoom on a train. Proving, once again, that #PublicLivingRooms can work anywhere. 👏 👏 👏 #WeAreCamerados
