📸 Photography enables memories... We all know that! 💭 Imagine, however, a confidence boosting shoot that stays with you time after time after time... 🤩 It's a privilege to do what we do.

PS. Messages like this gives me a happy dance every time! 🥰

Here they come... #Cancer #Derby #Nottingham

Another day and another awesome shoot! To quote... "I needed these heels to show I kicked cancer's ass"

YEAH YOU DID!!! You rocked the studio, too 😉

This #postcard view is on my doorstep. Sometimes I just need a quick reminder of how lucky I am. #Derbyshire

He's right... It's a bit warm to be talking about hoodies today! 😄 It's so so going to be worth it, though. The #AccessibleHoodie #2 is well on its way and should be back looking after #cancerPatients soon not only here in the #EastMidlands but across the UK!! #CancerSucks #Oncology #ChemoWarrior

Out of the studio at various meetings, today. I was asked how college was going... Still don't know whether to be thrilled or offended. My kids aren't sure either 😂

THAT feeling... When you're on #holiday & you get stopped by an excited #family who your co-founded #charity photographed at the beginning of the year and they want to tell you the BEST news!! They're keeping their #cancer at bay & has the energy to go away with the fam on holiday. I LOVE MY JOB!

Thank you to the wonderful team at #DerbyTheatre for a fab event with #JohnGodber. Fab stories but also sobering chats on the lack of support for the #arts. I also had a chat about the work of our #charity... It amazes me how versatile our work is - the arts are needed!

Does a #JobTitle really matter? My unique, morphed, role sees me use #radio, #photography, marketing & general chatting to fulfil my role advocating #cancer. Yup - I just used the phrase "advocate cancer". Does "dot joiner" cover it...?

Nothing better than an early start for a day of meetings with our #CharityTrustees... Plus a #composer, #journalist and a #PantoDame. (Oh yes I am!) I'm looking forward to meeting a survivor of #ProstateCancer, tomorrow, too. I have an eclectic job but I wouldn't swap it for the world. ❤️ #Derby

Today, #Derbyshire, and the world, celebrates #InternationalWomensDay. I'm incredibly fortunate in that I get to celebrate #women every single week! Whatever you're up to, today, remember to take some time for you and celebrate your own achievements... #Career, personal life or with #cancer.

I'm so impressed with @easyfundraising.bsky.social. I thought it would be full of faff & I couldn't be more wrong! It's so easy to use and I can continue to do my online shopping as usual - it just works around me. #BeBoldBeYou Foundation is going to really benefit from this 🧡

I'm on the lookout for a #CharityAccountant primarily based in North #Derbyshire. If there's one near us, in #Belper and is an independent business then that would be even better! 🙏 On this webpage pls scroll to the bottom for a list of vacancies www.beboldbeyou.co.uk/donations

Responding to today's public health grant announcement, @admbriggs.bsky.social says it is a welcome first step in putting prevention at the heart of the government's agenda.

After a decade of cuts, however, it needs to be backed up by a plan to restore the grant to 2015–16 levels ⬇️

'The government placed prevention as a cornerstone of the health mission. While increasing the public health grant is very welcome, it will need to be backed up with a multi-year plan to fully restore the grant to 2015–16 levels by the end of this parliament.'

For anyone listening to @erewashsound.bsky.social - here's Silvester! No longer shoved in the back of the airing cupboard and a book to keep him busy. He's been there for a over a week. 🤣 Right then... Back to work.
