Had the honour of meeting Lord Dubs today in Parliament and hearing about his childhood journey on the Kindertransport.

A powerful reminder of the importance of compassion and standing up for those in need. #RefugeesWelcome

Just 16% of autistic adults are in full-time paid work. In many cases, that’s due to a lack of reasonable adjustments.

For #AutismAcceptanceMonth, I’ve written about how simple changes can make workplaces more inclusive - and why that benefits everyone. 👇

I've just been watching how Trump and Vance have treated Zelensky during his visit to the United States.

They're just high school bullies and have shown nothing but disrespect toward Zelensky and Ukraine.

It's shocking how much things have changed in just a matter of weeks..

Many thanks to the Health Secretary for taking the time to talk to me this evening. I thanked him for his commitment to rebuild all hospitals affected by RAAC!

Now organising my 7th commumity film screening for February 2025.

This started as a one-off event and has since grown into regular screenings and even led to me founding my own Community Interest Company (CIC).

Here I am with some of our amazing volunteers!

When you need to upgrade a junction on your model railway, but you want it to be as realistic as possible, so you give yourself 7-10 years and loads of bureaucracy..

This year has been full of highs and lows, and I often give far too much attention to low points. So, I decided to take some time to reflect on the positive things that have happened to me in 2024.

I really enjoy my community projects, and I hope to do many more in 2025! 🥳
