1/8 We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend, participant and volunteer, Charlie Harkins. Sarah Gerity worked closely with Charlie in our Faith in Throughcare project and shares her memories in this thread:
So glad to be an APLE member. Walking the road together.
Happy June, it's officially APLE Month!🍏🌱🎉📢

At a residential event with @PTCScotland & @povertytruthnet a couple of weeks ago we talked about MPs doing a "national service" where they would spend uninterrupted time in local communities learning about and from the experiences of those who live there. #NationalService
5 months into our Re-imaging process and we have been hard at work. Digging deep, reaching out, refining who we are and what we do. Today we turned to imagining the future for the PTC, acknowledging we can only create what we can imagine.
We loved spending time in the sun with @CarnegieUKTrust and @povertytruthnet talking about a wellbeing democracy and creating a manifesto for change.

Some very powerful messages created over the last 24 hours with @PTCScotland & @povertytruthnet.
We created our own manifesto for change and shared ideas of what a good democracy could and should look like. 🪧🪧🪧

Our Community Re-imagining Meeting today was all about the journey, and navigating with a compass rather than a map.
The people we travel with, the people who have travelled with us in the past - and where we will set our compass to for the future.
