Please read this tweet from my friend Abi. I’ve been truly inspired by her from the first day I met her. Someone I really trust who has withdrawn from twitter because of the hate introduced us 5 years ago. Since then I’ve learned so much about being an ally.

Hi! Did you know people living with Downs Syndrome are at significantly increased risk of developing dementia and it occurs 3 decades earlier - start looking in 30’s…. The question is are people proactively looking for this disease? I think not. How do we change this @BeyNaveed?

Being at #StrongerThings making me want to re-up this thread The heart of this challenge is that institutions need to start trusting people

Fascinated to hear about how Camden Council and Georgia Gould are working with communities using participatory practice to tackle issues in the Borough. Everything from developing a data charter to cocreating a thriving night time economy #strongerthings Laura Broster Emma Durnall

How much time could be saved without these meetings? The 30 minute meeting that organisers think is ‘efficient’ but on the whole, achieves very little. How about we STOP the waste and use the time to sit with and listen to our people and communities ey, @LiviButt #strongerthings

The Covid parties & the OBEs were wrong but 13 years of this entitled arrogance also enabled: - the decimation of public services - a 1st time reduction in life expectancy - increasing gap between rich & poor - cuts to benefits & who to blame? Desperate people on small boats

"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family." Why would Rishi Sunak want to do a thing like that?
