Really enjoyable couple of days speaking to pupils Churcher's College and QEH Bristol 👏 Now looking forward to finishing the week with my first to St Neot's Preparatory School to speak to pupils and parents about online addictions and mental health. Grateful to Jonathan Slot for inviting me 🙌
Thinking of everyone connected to Bancroft's School and in particular the family of Daniel 💔There is no way I can put into words how awful this is or imagine what you are going through but my thoughts and prayers are with you all x
Really enjoyed my first visit to Oxford High School this morning to speak to Year 12 and 13 pupils as part of their PSHE programme. Amazing school and audience 👏 So pleased to be spreading my message in more GirlsDaySchoolTrust and girls schools as it’s just as important and relevant 🙌

We've got a problem! A problem with talking about how we're feeling 🫵🗣️. 2 in 3 football fans have struggled with their mental health. So I've teamed up with @threeuk @chelseafc and Samaritans to encourage fans to #TalkMoreThanFootball
Patrick Foster Such an inspiration mate. Your book was incredible and the way you've turned your life around is proof if ever its needed that there is always a way back. ✨️
A great way to finish a busy term with a double header. This morning Solihull School for the first time and then this afternoon Pangbourne College who I have worked with for a number of years. Two great schools and audiences. Now time for some time off to recharge the batteries 🪫 💙
Another ‘Cheltenham Week’ successfully navigated 🙌 As always, driven on by passion for what I do and hopefully helping others and it’s been great to speak Thorngrove School St Edmund's College Stamford Sixth Form and St Albans School this week. Below ⬇️ is my ‘why’ in a nutshell 💙
