Imogen Moore-Shelley

It's just after midnight and we're going to bury the magnetic @imogenmooreUK today. Imogen - I loved you from our 1st date. I promise to return the favour, and love you until the day I die. Thank you for eight extraordinary years, two beautiful boys and one hell of a marriage.

Dear friends of Imogen, we’re hosting a funeral home visit for wondrous woman tomorrow. All the details are below. ❤️

We will be hosting a visit to say goodbye to Imogen on Friday June 23rd from 11.30 am to 3.30 pm at the Poetic Endings funeral home in Forest Hill. This will be an opportunity to bid farewell to Imogen, wish her on her way, and see her one last time.

We also work systemically and we are an anti-racist and anti-oppressive organisation but beyond that it's down to you. See the job advert here: lnkd.in/e9E_2gCn

If this sounds familiar then come work for @shiftukorg and you'll have the time and freedom to support just 5 vulnerable young people caught up in cycles of harm. There are core ingredients in the way we work, see the image below

Are you a practitioners who gets up in the morning to build relationships with young people to support them to reach their potential? Perhaps you feel frustrated because you are always stretched, too many young people, not enough time?

Last week we celebrated the launch of SHiFT @LBofBexley. A brilliant artist captured some of the highlights from this special event… @JoshMacAlister @SophieHumphrey5 @nickpendry1 @dez_holmes @JennyFog @imogenmooreUK

@JDhelpteam Thank you I will do.

@jdhelpteam I’m really disappointed. I purchased 5 tracksuits for children who live in care homes on 16/12 and paid for next day delivery. I spoke to someone yesterday because they had not turned up. Someone promised to chase it and email me this morning. I’ve received nothing.

of rigid ‘computer says no attitude’. The charity I work for has a motto that we do whatever it takes for young people. Please make sure these children have a present to open on Christmas Day. How can you help?

For these kids it’s the only present they are getting this Christmas. I’m happy to go pick up but there is no stock in London. I even said i’d drive to a warehouse. I’ve been told the only option is a refund. I’m sure your CEO #regisschultz didn’t get where he is with this sort…

@NanaBon1975 ‘Safe uncertainty’ - BOOM - going to keep that in mind :)

Just did my first day @LBofBexley @shiftukorg new practice. Spent the day discussing how we establish which children need our support the most. I had that brilliant feeling of ‘I am doing exactly what I should be doing’…

@shiftukorg I felt really challenged in a good way about our role as guides to ‘balance the stories’ about young people and families.

Our own identities / scripts shape how we we see the world, how we work, and the stories we tell afterwards. Powerful discussion of ‘social graces’ - visible and invisible - intersectionality, poverty, allyship, structural racism, reflexivity and professional courage and ethics.

Highlights from the past two days of induction and refresher training for SHiFT Practices include… understanding the importance of ‘what happens between’… systemic practice’s focus on the inter-personal (vs the intra-psychic)…

@shiftukorg I loved this pointer from @NanaBon1975. As ‘professional practitioners’ we rob people of agency by deciding for them what we think we they need and even when we are well meaning we are so often wrong. Our incorrect narratives are defined by our own stuff and confirmation bias.

Stay in the complexity. Form lots of ideas. Know they are only ideas. Share them with families. Then collaborate with children and families - which shall we focus on together?

@Timalkaa @CiMFoundation Absolutely! Will DM you.

Hi @imogenmooreUK, I love your work at the @CiMFoundation. I’m in need of some support in the EF department - could you kindly tell me your email so I can contact you, I’d be ever so grateful. Thanks 🙂

Excited for an afternoon of awe, wonder, inspiration and imagination with @CassieRobinson + the #ImaginationInfrastructure movement. ✨ notion.so/Imagination-In…

Calling all community organising/social scientist/community development researchers, I am now working at @RedbridgeLive community hubs and loving it and I am excited to share that we are looking for a learning partner. Read on and spread the word!
