Huge current interest in working with the public to make better decisions. I get many requests on how to commission, plan, do, & learn from deliberation and participation. It's a hot topic - so I'm excited to share @involveUK new Training newsletter - let us know what you think!

This blog from @darren_wish70 on our trip to Namibia is great. I absolutely loved the country and our travelling companions - a real mixed bunch. If you go do your research - the legacy of genocide and apartheid are visible but sensitive to talk about.

@nottswomenscent Wow it looks so different. That's brilliant @nottswomen

A huge turnout of fabulous people today @NottsPride. This year @nottswomenscent led the march

I will be there with @nottswomenscent

Can't tell you how much I would love to do this if I could make the date. I am up for Cradley Heath if that's ever a photowalk. #lovetheblackcountry

@P1Black Yessss! Sounds like the perfect day!

Such a great day at the People's History Museum in Manchester with one of the young activists from @RECLAIMproject. We talked about Mrs Thatcher's legacy, how independent candidates can have influence in Parliament and made our own badges. #Fulltimefierce

More fab pictures from the @CitizensUK General Election Assembly tonight. I hope the politicians present know that these people will remember their commitments. We will return to our communities and continue organising, holding whoever is in Government to account.

@amcanning @CitizensUK @NottinghamCitz I think 2017. Vintage, but still fighting on!

This was an inspiring evening with @CitizensUK and representatives from around the country. I was there with @NottinghamCitz calling for three main political parties to commit to the #Citizensmanifesto
