Very glad to have had the support from the full council today on improving civility in public life. Signing the @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social pledge has to be meaningful and we have a responsibility to do better.

When you can't go anywhere due to the snow, I guess it's time to start making plans for the year ahead!

One of my favourite things to do on the last day of the year is to empty my Good Things Jar. It's a great way to end the year remembering all the nice bits from the year.

A moment of quiet reflection to remember all of those women who have lost their lives due to domestic abuse. #forthemall

I am really pleased that elected members got the opportunity to hear from Shetland's Women's Aid today. One of the most asked questions is why don't they just leave? It's not that easy. 👇

We're flying a purple flag designed locally by Shetland RapeCrisis at Lerwick Town Hall today to mark the UN's 16 days of activism against gender-based violence.
Violence against women and girls remains the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violation in the world.
