Thank you @nazshahbfd.bsky.social for visiting our Bradford Learning disability service last week, to meet the team & listen to the challenges faced by those we support. The event was part of our Bradford People’s Parliament sessions, a platform for people to raise their voices and create change.

Our criminal justice system faces crisis. The recent gov. sentencing review is welcome, recognising the substance use sector, accessible accommodation post prison & treatment pathways for women. Yet, commitment to invest in community sentences/services remains absent.

It’s the start of Euro Test Week!
Hepatitis C often has no symptoms - but left untreated, it can lead to serious liver damage. The good news?
It’s curable, especially when caught early. 👈
This week is about raising awareness and encouraging testing. 💙

The Gov's recently announced reforms propose to cut £5bn from welfare. Framed as supporting people transition from benefits to employment, it sadly lacks focus on tackling root causes by building sustainable & holistic support across health, social care, housing & benefits. bsky.app/profile/turn...

Recently, ONS released their latest data on alcohol related deaths – with figures rising to 10,473, the highest on record. We need to adopt a system-wide response to alcohol harm, addressing it as a public health issue; the upcoming spending review needs to prioritise the issue.
