Spent this morning talking about Women's Health in #GreaterManchester & why we have to address inequalities in wealth & power.

Good to share the work we are doing in GM to apply a gendered lens, close inequality gaps, track the data & lay building blocks for good lives for all.

“We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us”

Let Jo’s message of kindness, respect, and togetherness ring out across the world today. Her words and spirit have never been more true, important or needed.

With love to all who miss her. ♥️

2nd week of HRT & I completed parkrun with a smile for 1st time in months.

April ‘24 I was prepping for a half marathon then cocktail of #Covid & #perimenopause knocked me down & I’ve struggled to get back in my stride.

Thanks to those who nudged me to see GP.

Talk about it. #WomensHealth

#NHSConfedExpo is in #Manchester. Someone described it to me yesterday as the Glasto of heath & care. See you there? I’ll be the one in yellow wellies! 😉

Look forward to joining a great panel to discuss ‘Delivering change: lessons from reforming public services’. #nhsconfedexpo

Was a joy to join 100 people today for a community bike ride in celebration of our 6km of cycle lanes between Chorlton & central Mcr.

A great reminder of how joyful our journeys can be, with the right infrastructure and support, and whatever the weather! 🌦️🚴🏽‍♀️

Fab day in #Wigan with Council & community leaders & the Independent Commission on Neighbourhoods.

Being in #Manchester in the sunshine is like living in a photo as it develops - new, parts of the city are suddenly revealed around you.
And then Thom Yorke walks past!
Very cool.

2 years ago I had the privilege of meeting Pope Francis with a delegation of interfaith & political leaders working together in Greater Manchester to address the social & environmental crises.

Grateful for his advocacy for love, kindness, humility, peace, unity & action on climate change & poverty.

✨”People aren't going to show up to the revolution if it isn't fun”
- a running theme of my week.

It’s why I love working with people like Katy Rubin who appreciate the need to bring play, creativity & joy to #democracy.

It’s how fears, assumptions & walls are dissolved. 🪄 #Participation
