I love where I live, but the dark days and the grey skies definitely get me a little down this time of year. Been trying to make sure I take at least ten minutes outside in my closest green space - not always easy with work and family life but I think it’s helping #Take10Outside

Hello & welcome to new followers or Xodus people! Can we ask you all a favour? We pride ourselves on being a space where people who draw on or work in social care share an equal voice, and well.. this place feels a bit one sided doesn't it? Please encourage people who draw on social care to join.

Fresh from an extended break over the summer and back to it. Looking forward to sharing soon a new guide, backed by research, to help events and conference organisers better include people who draw on care and support in the way they deliver their events and speaker line ups.
