Brilliant afternoon yesterday celebrating the amazing work of @safelives.bsky.social at their 21st birthday tea party with the Queen at Clarence House. Great to go with @vision-research.bsky.social Kim Cullen and @ktbg1.bsky.social and to see familiar faces and meet new people working in this area.
