Preparedness is not just a government responsibility, it requires a whole of society approach. Great discussions with colleagues from across civil society, government, business and academia on building #resilience. My reflections👇 www.linkedin.com/posts/robjmu... #RedCross

People are living in unimaginably harsh conditions, and winter is making life even harder. The generosity from people across Scotland to the @decappeal.bsky.social appeal has been incredible and every pound is being matched by the UK Government. Please support: donation.dec.org.uk/middle-east-...

Last week, we sent a postcard to every one of our incredible @britishredcross.bsky.social volunteers, a small gesture to recognise a massive achievement. From refugee services and crisis response to retail and comms, your compassion and care shine. #volunteersweek #VolunteersWeekScotland🧵

Heartbreaking what happened today in Örebro. Terror and violence have no place in communities around the world, yet far too many people continue to endure them. Solidarity with friends in Sweden and thoughts are with the victims. 🕊️

Resilience in action during #StormÉowyn 🌧️ From rest centres to medical support, patient transport, and telephone welfare checks for those on the priority register—our sector once again stepped up when it was needed most - thank you. 🧵

Inspiring collaboration this week as the voluntary & community resilience sector works with statutory agencies to prepare for #StormÉowyn. Follow advice from official channels. Our sector is represented at the Strategic Coordination Group. Stay Safe folks. #WeatherAware

📍 Attention #Glasgow! Check out our newly refurbished store on Byres Road! I’ve visited a couple of times, and the transformation is amazing. The stock is fantastic (though we’re always happy to welcome more donations!), and every purchase you make directly supports people during times of crisis.

Last weekend was a productive and inspiring one - attending my first Scouts UK Leadership Team. The weekend started by Carl reflecting on the remarkable legacy and achievements from Sharkey. A giant who has been taken from us too soon. #skillsforlife #Readyforlife #volunteer 🧵

New British Red Cross report highlights the vital role of targeted services in preventing frequent A&E visits. This approach is something we have been discussing with @gov.scot.web.brid.gy to ensure people get the right support before reaching crisis. 🧵#Health #MentalHealth

Thrilled to have attended Scotland’s first Health Equity Network event as a steering group member. The day facilitated insightful discussions and lively debate. There’s a real commitment to improving health equity across Scotland. We need action. #HealthEquity #Inequalities

🧵Full on day of attending induction meetings with staff colleagues, laying the strong foundation for what’s to come. It was great also catching up with our Chief Scout, Dwayne Fields , and meeting the remarkable Clare Balding – both of whom are inspiring leaders in their own right.
