Thank you to @TheCanaryUK for offering us your platform to oppose redundancies at @uniofbrighton @pgrs_brighton @BrightonUCU thecanary.co/feature/2023/0…

Hundreds of students protest possible redundancies at the University of Brighton Read statement from @ucu union here: blogs.brighton.ac.uk/ucu/2023/05/04…

Press Release: Brighton University staff vow to strike in defence of jobs, as 130 staff face redundancy blogs.brighton.ac.uk/ucu/2023/05/05… #ucuRISING #BrightonUniStrike

Today @uniofbrighton has announced its intention to make more than 100 redundancies saving £17.9m. But our SMT have just SPENT a similar amount buying Virgin Active out of a lease. We will fight this failure of management. RT to support our fight! #ucuRISING #BrightonUniStrike

Another great midwife-mum-birth partner communication tool @cardmedic

Fantastic experience of supporting @CDCI_Brighton #InternationalWomensDay event today. Thank you @sijuyusuf for organizing and hosting such an inspiring event.

Multiple Whitehawk parents have been in touch to report their anger after receiving a letter from the dep head @LonghillSchool The letter suggests @BrightonHoveBus thinks a small cohort of children are attempting to defraud them by not paying the fare to travel to school.

*Sigh* @DivideClass campaigning for nearly 2 years to try and get free school travel for all kids in the poorest part of #Brighton and Hove. There is no local secondary and kids can't walk or cycle to school. Told 'there's no money' @BHGreens @bhlabour @BHGreenCllrs

@lawson_unit @DanielRBrighton Happy Birthday Daniel!!!

Massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our fantastic Professor Dainel Richardson. A big birthday 😉 @DanielRBrighton

@IanPhilipsITS I wonder if it’s possible to encourage emulation, trust and credibility so that people can lead change towards low-carbon travel in their communities?

With PhD applications due soon, thousands of young people are currently beginning their statements of purpose with the same cliché story, or the same anodyne statement Stop right now! Here are 10 thoughts for doing this right. Helps you, and helps admissions committees.👇

My dad grew up in Whitehawk, I grew up in Whitehawk. I work in Whitehawk @crewclub and @DivideClass. The place is amazing but the reality is stark. Keeping people poor is an act of violence. #Brighton is not a fair city. The UK is deeply unequal. theargus.co.uk/news/23106981.…

Listening to people with experience and empowering them to change systems will end homelessness and the suffering it causes. The #CommonAmbition Steering Group funded by @HealthFdn are here to show #BrightonHove the way #WorldHomelessDay #EndHomelesness

According to @crisis_uk, 282,000 single people, couples and families were judged as homeless or threatened with homelessness by local authorities in England in 2020/21. Rough sleeping is just the tip of the iceberg. #WorldHomelessDay zcu.io/qAiB @justlifeuk

Brilliant work here from @cardmedic and @UHSussex So many crucial moments on people's healthcare journeys when attending to communication needs could transform health outcomes especially for people experiencing #inequalities

In 2021 we gathered feedback on people’s experiences of #HomelessHealthcare for our co-production project, #CommonAmbition. We developed a collaborative analysis approach, standing shoulder to shoulder with the person relating their experience. zcu.io/4fu7

🏆💪LIONESSES FOREVER 💪🏆

Spent an amazing day @crewclub funday. What a wonderful team and what brilliant kids to spend the day with. Keith Turner and his East Brighton Community Science project put on a fantastic pop-up planetarium and @EBFoodcoop a delish bbq. Spirit of @causewayed70 lives on 💪👍

@stevec009 @archhealthcic @uniofbrighton The 2018 mapping research and survey are cited as evidence of grassroots activism and concern in the city; not street homelessness levels. Our lived experience group have carried out their own 2022 mapping of B&H services and accommodation to specify what needs to change and why.

The city of #Brighton is especially well-placed to host a system change project in #homelesshealth through #coproduction, says @marydarking @uniofbrighton: we have the expertise, the innovation, and the grassroots civic energy and concern #coproweek zcu.io/JEu6
