Ok, so I'm not a poet, but something about the act of shampooing my partner's hair silently in the dark yesterday made me want to have a go. (Don't laugh)

🥰 The #ThereForME team met for the first time in person yesterday! It was wonderful to be with these 2 treasures and a super day of planning was had.

We're sad to announce that #ThereForME has suspended its collaboration with the ME Association.

We truly hope that we can collaborate again when the concerns raised by the community have been adequately addressed.
We are very sad to announce that the #ThereForME campaign has suspended our collaboration with the ME Association. Like others in the ME community, we have deep concerns about a recent editorial published by the ME Association and authored by the ME Association’s Chairman (‘Animals need to move’). We wrote to the ME Association today expressing concerns about the editorial and asking for an update on the actions that the ME Association would be taking to address them. We did not feel that the response we received was adequate and so we have taken the decision to suspend our collaboration with immediate effect. We are very proud of how we have managed to bring the ME and Long Covid communities together under a shared advocacy message since launching the campaign four months ago. We believe our community is strongest when we can work together and so this is not a decision that we have taken lightly. However, we are also very grateful for the trust we have built with the ME community. We therefore feel that we cannot in good conscience continue our collaboration with the ME Association until the very valid concerns from the community have been sufficiently addressed. We have made clear to the ME Association the actions we believe are necessary from their side in order to resume our collaboration. The door remains open to continue working together once we feel sufficient action has been taken. We very much hope that this will be the case. In the meantime, we will be focusing our time and energy on what we feel our campaign does best: speaking up for people with ME and Long Covid, who will always be at the heart of our campaign. Karen, Emma and Oonagh

This afternoon, my y10s worked on some new translations of Hogwarts houses, having studied the connotations of the names in the original.

I wish I could remember all the explanations (we didn't have time to write them up) but I'll try...
