Working to improve the lives of older people. Age UK Head of Services, Westminster. Politics matters. All opinions my own.
- Another key piece of legislation to address the issue @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social and @teamlabouruk.bsky.social promised to tackle. Actions matter. Cultural change takes longer but starts with actions such as this. 👏👏👏
- This is Zelda's law. For over 5 years she has tirelessly campaigned. She is my hero and it's been an honour to work with her. www.theguardian.com/la w/2025/jul/07/uk-bosses-to-be-banned-using-ndas-cover-up-misconduct-work?CMP=share_btn_url
- Really interesting read and tools I will be exploring over next few days. Understanding regional spend can provide additional insights. @warrenoates1.bsky.social
- youtube.com/watch?v=dwV1... Challenging preconceptions and forging new pathways for women... Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏
- Having recently lost my great friend to cancer I recognise the motivation behind @bethrigby.bsky.social in fundraising and need to take action in the name of one she lost who meant so much. If you can support, please do, for those lost and those still with us. www.justgiving.com/page/beth-ri...

- With the announcement of the abolition of NHS England and 50% cuts to ICBs, a great deal will change in commissioning of services. How these changes support the better use of 3rd sector organisations is one of the unknowns. The sector needs to speak up & shape decision making at the highest levels.
- youtube.com/watch?v=-owK... Sadly, another year when @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social reads the list of women killed by men. Tragic BUT Jess now taking real tangible actions to reduce this number. No one has more passion for this challenge.
- Action on the report of Baroness Gabby Burton @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social ? Is this something you will be able to progress? Although commissioned by prior government, findings have value and there is a need to consider in respect to violence against women.
- @citybridgefndn.bsky.social great to see a significant charity funder on this platform. Sends a message about values. Great organisation and thanks for the funding to our older people work in Westminster. @ageukwestminster.bsky.social

- Pause for a while and read this. Powerful consideration and analysis of a brief period of time. What does this mean for the next 4 years minimum? @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social @rafaelbehr.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social
