You shouldn’t care about #SocialCare because it’s in crisis you should care about social care because it’s about people, our lives, our families, being part of our communities. No one’s getting social care who doesn’t need it but lots of people who need it are not getting it.

@gruddphoto @ace_national Thanks lovely!

Excited to have been awarded DYCP funding by @ace_national to explore accessible, socially engaged, co creation across arts and health. Looking forward to collaborating with a brilliant team of creatives and academics! #DYCP

CN: assisted suicide. Some say ‘well no one’s forcing you’ but if you haven’t sat opposite a social worker/assessor justifying how long it takes to wee I doubt you’ll get the depth of many disabled people’s fears. How can we have a right to die without a right to independent life

Minister for Disabled People SCRAPPED. We are 24% of the population. Healthcare, benefits, cares, quality of life… all these things don’t matter to the Government. We are left behind. Shame on you @RishiSunak @Conservatives itv.com/news/2023-12-1…

@iamKirstenT I know. I’m hearing of parents really struggling with not just getting things sorted in terms of gifts this year, but the constant stream of emails & demands from schools. Juggling time off for events, getting the right clothes on the right day & generally feeling overwhelmed.

Very sad news. A completely brilliant man and an absolute beacon of light ✨

if art critics talked like football pundits

Some useful points for those commissioning #ArtsFreelancers: - Respect their knowledge with your arrangements - Recognise freelancers are best placed to know their economic worth, livelihood needs and on costs - Don't make payment systems that treat them like criminals 1/3

@Leejohnson78 @MarkRavenhill2 @thedebbiemcgee @NorwichTheatre I was only 3 but I remember it so vividly! 7 years later I was in my first paid job, on that same stage in Jack and The Beanstalk!

@Leejohnson78 @MarkRavenhill2 @thedebbiemcgee @NorwichTheatre I saw that too Lee! But my first was mother goose with Bernie Clifton and he scared the crap out of me!

Panto first memory: one woman in boots turned to another woman in a dress and said ‘since I met you I’ve been on top of the world’and then sang the Carpenters song I’d heard on the radio. I was 5 and this was the most exciting thing I’d ever seen! What’s your first panto memory?
