Yesterday I visited the Repair Café and Dr Bike service at Plaistow Library, and the turnout was incredible! 🚲 🛠️
There was huge demand for both services, with residents queuing throughout the afternoon to get bikes checked, items repaired, and expert advice.

Is it too cold at work? 🥶🥶🥶
If so, check out this advice 👇
1. Raise your concerns with your manager
2. Read the official HSE info and bring it to the attention of your manager

3. If still not resolved, contact your UNISON representative.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

🎄💚 The festive period isn’t joyful for everyone 💚🎄
If you’re struggling, or supporting someone else who is, help is available.
You’re not failing if you’re finding this time hard. Reaching out- or checking in on someone else- can make a real difference 💚
