I think it's great that guy who's father was Greek and mother was Palestinian Syrian, who almost certainly never set foot in England, and is said to have died for his faith is celebrated as a symbol of our beautifully diverse, multi-cultural and multi-faith country. Happy #StGeorgesDay!

A little something I wrote for Easter...

Easter doesn't erase the wounds—it honours them. Resurrection is for the weary, the doubting, the grieving. Hope rises, scarred and shining.

A reflection I've written for #GoodFriday

“Even on Good Friday, hope isn’t entirely gone. It’s just quiet. Hidden. Like a seed in the soil, not yet sprouted. But it’s still there. Still alive. Still coming.”

Nick Parker is not only a wonderful musician whose songs have somehow been a soundtrack since my yoof, and become a good mate, but also a crazy talented animator. Check out the video that must have taken hours to create, it's delightful and deserves lots of views. m.youtube.com/watch?v=3MJK...

I want to put a playlist together of songs about hope or that are hopeful. Hit me with you suggestions.

Links so I can listen are most helpful!

Thanks

I'm rocking my socks for #WorldDownSyndromeDay and adding my voice to #ImproveOurSupportSystems... are you? Come on, show us your socks... 🧦
Feet in odd socks... the left one is red and the right one green. They each have a colourful pattern of what could be sun's of flowers drawn by children.

Cuts to support for the most vulnerable are morally wrong and won’t create the strong, flourishing communities we want to live in. The govt should tax extreme wealth to put the burden on those who can most afford it.

News. A coalition of disability charities has said it is the “height of contempt” that the government is asking disabled people to consult on life-changing new welfare benefit laws without providing accessible formats.

🌱 A week ago, I started the Hope Scrolling, and we’ve already got posts for the first 10 days filled with amazing stories, art, and positivity. But now, I need your help to keep the momentum going for the next 30 days! 🙌
