Good discussion about work and valuing key workers at today’s @MAESESOL English Corner. ‘This is an important protest poster. I think this is a good response - key workers need be valued. It shows we are all in this together’ @OfficeOfCraig

Looking forward to seeing what inspiring plans they come up with and how we can support them

Such a relaxing and inspiring morning for learners @MAESESOL #abrahammoss #cheethamhill painting truck art pots led by ex ESOL learner Lubna Tahir. The gallery first met Lubna through @TalkEnglishMcr and it’s great to see her now teaching so eloquently. Such an achievement.

Compassion is strength and studies show self-compassion is the key to resilience and well-being. And we need to learn it if we've not experienced or witnessed it enough in childhood. How can we learn compassion? Mindfulness. #TheMindfulMuseum #MAGwellbeing

Such a great opportunity for any young person who wants a voice in their city
