No 'expert', just some bloke who brings good people together to do good things in Leeds. All views are changeable and personal. Reposts are not necessarily endorsements.

Adam Lent from the King's Fund talks about the need to re-instill compassion, humanity & love into our institutions. Adam sees a need to shift from 'to-ism to with-ism', working with people and communities rather doing to them. #NAVCAConference25

Thank you, Asha Neighbourhood Centre group, for having us. The service users' feedback was very valuable, and Parveen enjoyed chatting with the group.
If you have experienced challenges with your mental health or care for someone who does, tell us what you think of the NHS 111 mental health option.

I really hope the handshake dies out soon. I bumped into an old workmate today, & he initiated a handshake, which I attempted to engage in. It was such a limp, awkward effort. I apologised in shame, but wasn't sure if it was me or him, who caused the horror show. I don't need this in 2025 😓
