As someone with #livedexperience of #trauma & #suicide across communities, having lost friends & colleagues, this hits really hard! What an utter tragedy! Deepest condolences to the family & friends of the departed sisters. RIP, hope you find peace 💔🙏 share.google/e8Vcekgo3OtBT8R…

I'm not on SM much but must comment about this @cineworld change. I work with communities who live with #disability #digitalexclusion, #mentalhealth etc. This makes the simple cinema visit so much more difficult & is a #barrier to them. Please change back now! #discrimination
Booked tickets at Solihull @cineworld for myself, daughter and her boyfriend to see Practical Magic 2 tomorrow. Then had to log myself out of the app, log in as my wife and choose her seat next to us. What an absolute ball ache cockshambles that is. #cineworld

Have a fantastic day King's Company of the Grenadier Guards as you Troop the Colour this morning. Congratulations to the promoted Guardsmen. What a proud day!
HM visited The King's Company at Lille Barracks today — meeting The Grenadier Guards who will troop their Colour in front of a King for the first time in 90 years tomorrow. 3 Guardsmen were personally promoted by His Majesty ahead of the parade. A birthday to remember.

Recognising & showcasing best practice is vital, translating lessons learned across communities & postcodes where possible. #Doncaster is leading the way with #VeteranWelfare for a number of reasons that should be identified to stop the national #VeteranSupport postcode lottery.

On #ArmisticeDay we pause to remember, respect & honour those who sacrificed so much for our liberty, democracy & the freedoms we often take for granted. Everything we are & have is thanks to their sacrifice. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.

What a powerful interview on @bbclaurak, highlighting the desperate need for more regulation & oversight of how AI is being utilised to target the young & vulnerable around issues such as #suicide & #eatingdisorders. This tech MUST also incorporate safeguards & signposting.

An inspirational moment today in Leeds as the @Rob7Burrow Centre for #MND opened it's doors. A groundbreaking, pioneering & beautiful moment which will drive forward awareness & research opportunities. This will really make a difference! Thanks to all who made this possible.
Just moments away from the opening of the new @Rob7Burrow centre for #MND in Leeds. More on @BBCBreakfast 💙

I've seen myself, from the inside, how the Special Educational Needs system is failing children with #SEN, their parents & carers, and is preventing these children becoming their best selves. This emotional protest highlights that these children are being failed and left behind.
Families in #Liverpool are gathering outside the council building as part of the ‘Every Pair Tells A Story’ movement. Parents and carers are displaying pairs of children’s shoes - they say they represent those who have been failed by the SEND system ⬇️
