Heartbreaking what happened today in Örebro.
Terror and violence have no place in communities around the world, yet far too many people continue to endure them.
Solidarity with friends in Sweden and thoughts are with the victims. 🕊️

📍 Attention #Glasgow!
Check out our newly refurbished store on Byres Road! I’ve visited a couple of times, and the transformation is amazing.
The stock is fantastic (though we’re always happy to welcome more donations!), and every purchase you make directly supports people during times of crisis.

Last weekend was a productive and inspiring one - attending my first Scouts UK Leadership Team.
The weekend started by Carl reflecting on the remarkable legacy and achievements from Sharkey. A giant who has been taken from us too soon.

New British Red Cross report highlights the vital role of targeted services in preventing frequent A&E visits.
This approach is something we have been discussing with @gov.scot.web.brid.gy to ensure people get the right support before reaching crisis.
