Winter solstice reflection. This year homelessness has increased and families in some temporary accommodation cannot cook a proper meal and children are suffering rickets in a G7 country. Labour take note, we will be wanting a solution soon. Community kitchens are a easy and good start for all.

Really regretting hosting this elf. Just as I get into bed every night I remember I need to move him. When do they leave? Christmas Eve?

A brilliant couple of days with CEO’s and leaders across the homeless sector at the @homelesslink.bsky.social Leadership Summit. Connection, insight and shared ideas and at the Annual Members Meeting it was confirmed I’ve been voted on to join the Board. Then a 4 hour crawl up the M6!

I’m looking forward to the @homelesslink.bsky.social leadership summit tomorrow. It’s always reassuring and weirdly helpful to be alongside others in the same boat in the same storm finding a way through together

Today is our Well Placed meeting, bringing together third sector leaders across Liverpool. On the agenda today will be the NI changes and the impact on our ability to deliver services to the people we work alongside. It’s a false economy & could be catastrophic to our communities

Really insightful conversation at the Centre for Population Health conference in Bradford. We can only tackle health inequalities if we work together, across our systems, involving our communities. Conversation & collaboration not competition #cphconf2024

In 1948 the principles of the NHS were simple. Make sure it has enough money and staff to meet the needs of the population, who all get equal access to top quality healthcare, protecting it from private sector motives. Those principles remain true today. We must stand together to save our NHS 💙

Could none of the 20 million people on here post about Bake Off until I’ve watched it. I’ll be an hour behind. Thanks everyone!

We’ve got a lovely job as Head of Mental Health Services. It’s on our website www.ymcatogether.org.uk and head to the Work For Us section. It’s an exciting time for our services and you’d be well supported in the role by our brill Director of Specialist Services.

Looking forward to the Centre for Population Health conference on Wednesday. I’ll be talking about the work of the third sector and health inequalities faced by people experiencing homelessness. We must do better, prevention is key.
