@Mowglistfood in #Birmingham with @hiteshpatel321 🥰

A constituent went to @AsdaServiceTeam in Westbrook for their weekly shop, met a friend, decided to go for a coffee, lost track of time..now they’ve got a £100 charge for overstaying by 20mins. Advised they use the new @aldi and @lidl stores for weekly shop, soon save that £100!

-5C outside, so today is #ArtDay for me and the kids. Being creative is great for your mental well-being so give it a go and share your pics, drawings, painting, etc. Here’s my starter for 10, Lord Ganesh covered in ice, taken from the kitchen window.

How lovely to receive a message from one of @WarringtonCA’s commissioners at @WarringtonBC saying #thanks for all you do in these difficult times. We do it because we care but is so nice and very much appreciated to get such a lovely message of thanks. ☺️

#NHS staff learn about equality etc, but I’d make it compulsory for all to learn about patient/family #palliative_care in an “end of life” event. The support & empathy from all (cleaners through to nurses to DRs et al) on @WHHNHS AMU1 ward been brilliant … thank-you ❤️

@CarersWorcs These sessions are amazing. I cannot believe how long they have been going on for. Keep up the good work WAC!

@hiteshpatel321 It looks lovely. 🥰

There’s something very satisfying and therapeutic about watching the fish happily swimming in a clean fish tank. #MindfulLiving

Too often senior management teams in the public sector lack diversity 😔. How can they be sure they’re considering all options & coming up with the best solutions for local communities? 🤷🏻‍♂️. One way around this is work with local voluntary sector leaders to co-design soln’s. 😊
