Privilege to be in Denmark with @patientsikker & share perspectives on UK health system inc experience @BBB_Health - always encouraged to be with health & community activists working at the grassroots to address social factors that make folk more miserable than they need to be.

Huge thanks to everyone who supported Allison & Mike’s epic cycle round Loch Ness, esp the generous folk who helped us raise £1500 for Bikes for Refugees - where a little money transforms lives. It’s not too late to make a donation to this amazing charity: justgiving.com/page/allison-…

Really excited to get to know @GCP_Edinburgh & see their amazing projects being delivered. Love the sense of energy & family amidst the challenges faced by so many in the community. This brilliant short video gives a real feel for the work… youtu.be/-GzrbEpuJwc?si=7FF-… via @YouTube

Privilege to celebrate the phenomenal achievements of my friend Paul Brickell on his retirement from @LondonLegacy yesterday - the driving force for so much that’s happened since 2012 inc @UCLEast - an East Londoner with incredible vision, determination & sense of community.

Walked past HMS Belfast last night. It always makes me think of my late Uncle Roy who served on that ship and used to talk vividly about his time in the navy when I was a wee boy.

Real privilege to meet Dougie Samuel and @DebbiMcCulloch today @Spartans_CF and learn about their incredible journey - pure inspiration and a tonne of hard work and perseverance. Great to get that sense of a living and breathing community with amazing values.
Bromley-by-Snow….after 20 years it’s the start of my final working week as Chief Executive of the charity and the place has turned into a village in the Scottish Highlands! @Bromley_by_Bow @BBB_Health
The warm clean lines and simple symmetry of the Church @Bromley_by_Bow continue to provide a space for calm reflection. Even after 34 years and perhaps now more than ever.
This year we’ve had some amazing exhibitions @Bromley_by_Bow (brilliantly curated by Sheenagh). This month it’s our Young@Art group that’s created a murder mystery & invented fantastic characters & made wonderfully evocative 3D images! It’s up for another week…come & see it.
Celebrating carers. Amazing new photo exhibition @Bromley_by_Bow by the brilliant Pierre Bureau. Sadly carers are the most overlooked & undervalued folk in our society. They deliver humanity. Always working under intense pressure and with little thanks. Come have a look. #heroes
A brilliant new exhibition went up at @Bromley_by_Bow last night, featuring prints done by Yvonne, our practice nurse. Really beautiful. Pop in and have a look #artandhealth @BBB_Health
Been reflecting with the team @Bromley_by_Bow on the long-term drivers of ill-health and early death in our poorest communities, both pre-covid and post-covid. #socialdeterminants #socialprescribing @BBB_Health @BBB_Insights @MichaelMarmot @4in10
The white rose is definitely beating the pink rose this year @Bromley_by_Bow #healthyspaces #socialprescribing

The cornus tree in Bob’s Park @Bromley_by_Bow is in full bloom this morning. We planted it in memory of Vanessa; the architect of so much of what we do & energetic community activist of the very best kind. We still miss her, but these glorious white blossoms remind us of her 😄
