And now after lunch @CarolineJBald talking about systems, access and inequality - how many “doors” we encounter…
Luke Griggs of @HeadwayUK starting the day off and also here Dr Ben Marram talking about recovery / fragility after brain injury. Of being “2 different people” - something I (& my family) live all the time. #headwayconf2026
Early start heading up to London for the @HeadwayUK conference. Looking forward to some interesting speakers & also supporting the @UKABIF stand 🧠 🤩

A huge thank you to Mick Craker, who chose us as his Charity of the Year during his Masonic year and raised an incredible £5,000!
As a Worthing Support Group attendee himself, he wanted to support our groups and provide a brand-new laptop for Helen, who facilitates the group💙
Do you belong to a community or fundraising group and would like a talk about @airambulancekss? I am one of the volunteers who do this but also a former patient so fairly passionate about raising awareness (& money!) for this amazing service! Contact details on the picture 🚁🤩
Thanks so much to @mimsdavies for the invite to the Uckfield jobs fair today for @HeadwaySussex. Some really good connections made and conversations had - looking forward to what these might bring! 👏🏻👍🏻
Lovely evening at Avisford Park Hotel yesterday, honoured to represent @airambulancekss and support the 16th year of a golf memorial day set up by an amazing family following the loss of their son. The generosity of all who attend to fundraise for it is incredible 🩵🚁🩵
And finally to end the day at the @BISWG conference, conversations about ABI & criminal justice and ending with a panel conversation (including me!) around practitioner research - and encouraging more social workers to do it!!
A brilliant day all round 👏🏻👏🏻
