Proud social worker and retiring CEO. About to embark on new work and personal adventures. Treasures justice and fairness. Won’t shut up about fighting for equality and challenging hate and division.

It’s been lovely to get to know Justina and to offer her a really comprehensive overview of all that is @aberlourcharity.bsky.social - I am sure under her leadership the organisation and the children and families it seeks to serve will continue to go from strength to strength. Good luck Justina. ❤️❤️
It's been great to welcome our new CEO Justina Murray who's started with us this week. She will work alongside & take over from @sallyannkelly1.bsky.social on Mon 3rd Nov. This gives SallyAnn time to visit services & say her goodbyes to the people she has worked with before she leaves later in Nov.

#Thanks @ross-greer.bsky.social for highlighting Aberlour's work to tackle public debt including council tax arrears that too often traps children and families in poverty and holds them there.

Good to hear @ross-greer.bsky.social focus on the issue of problem public debt and CTax arrears. @aberlourcharity.bsky.social evidence shows low income families are facing a public debt crisis. Reducing child poverty must mean tackling public debt. Reforming CTax recovery is a good place to start.
Catch me on the BBC Sunday Show this morning talking about how the @scottishgreens.org are introducing rent controls and new protections for renters, plus my proposals to write off toxic & unpayable historic Council Tax debts to help families break the cycle of poverty.

Times are tough but people fleeing war and persecution are not to blame for Scotland’s problems. Everyone deserves to be safe and feel like they belong.
