It really felt like a ‘back to school’ this week as @rockchoir_rob kicked off the autumn term. So nice to see so many familiar faces back together, ready to sing & have fun 🤩! We’ve started the term learning ‘September’ by Earth, Wind & Fire 🌎💨🔥- how uplifting! @RockChoir

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and this year’s theme is community. Started my week singing with @rockchoir_rob - a space full of joy, support & connection. We thrive in safe, positive communities that remind us we’re not alone. #RockChoir #YouAreNotAlone #Wellbeing #Connection

Attended a Blood Bourne Virus #HepC workshop today by @Waythrough_UK Powerful reminder that hepatitis C is curable - but not 4 everyone, yet. Stigma, inequality & lack of access are still barriers to overcome. #HealthEquity #BBV #PublicHealth @HepatitisCTrust @NewcastleHosps

Yesterday we launched ‘Shared Experiences’ - a powerful poetry collection by our residents at @tynehousing . These voices tell stories of resilience, growth & hope. Huge thanks 🙏🏼 to our poets, our incredible staff, partners & everyone who helps create space for people to thrive

Feeling totally inspired by the runners 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏻🏃🏾‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃🏽 at @LondonMarathon today. I have entered my name into the ballot (again) and hope I would be lucky and running in 2026! Good luck everybody taking part or helping today!! #LondonMarathon2025 #fitness #fun #running

Had a great day out in #Newcastle! Kicked things off with a surprise flash mob with @rockchoir_rob (so much fun!), followed by a delicious 😋 #seafood 🍤 🐟 🦪 lunch at @SaltWaterFishCo with @petertopping & some retail therapy. Good vibes all around! #fun #delicious @RockChoir

My first bouquet of lovely flowers 💐 ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday. Thank you 😘 XXX #mothersday #love

An earlyish start 🚘 today & I’d arrived in good time @glasshouseicm 250 of us from the @RockChoir family in the North East had lots of fun recording three great songs! Can’t wait to hear the proper finished products soon! #music #Rockies #friends

Today @tynehousing celebrated #InternationalWomensDay with @wishnortheast We shared our thoughts on acceleration - enablers & barriers. A perfect time to reflect on my own journey from an International Educated Staff Nurse to an Executive / Board Nurse. #AccelerateAction

We came all the way from England to see you @OfficialJackson our first family experience of true country music x #LastCallWithAlan in Texas! We even stopped by @ajsgoodtimebar in #Nashville on the way over 🤠🤠

Celebrating Valentine’s Day in Dallas this year, far from home but surrounded by love! 🇬🇧➡️🇺🇸 So grateful for new memories and adventures, no matter where we are. 💖 #ValentinesDay #Dallas #LoveAcrossTheMiles”

Kung Hei Fat Choi 🧨 🧧and Happy Chinese New Year!! May the year of snake 🐍 bring you all happiness 🙂, good health 💪🏼 and prosperity 💰.

Attended a powerful @OHID networking event today on continuity of care in drug & alcohol recovery for people leaving prison. The inspiring story from a service user reminded us why this work is so vital. Change is possible with the right support! #Recovery #ContinuityOfCare

A very enjoyable Burns Night Ball 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 this weekend with @petertopping & all for the very good cause @NEYouth_ Great performance by the Highland Dancing School, and we had lots of fun going through our paces in the ceilidh too! #burnsnight #dancing #makingadifference

On my way 🚘 to the gym and paused my journey to capture the magic of snowy landscapes of Weardale valley. Some moments are too just beautiful to pass by. ❄️📸 #WinterWonders #SnowyScenes @ThisisDurham @NorthEastTweets

Out 🚘 and about visiting the three Recovery Centres in Co Durham. Enjoyed talking to the dedicated staff @Waythrough_UK & grateful for all they do to support recovery and hope. A big thankyou🙏🏼to Andy, Jane & Vicky for showing me around. #recovery #hope #impact @DurhamCouncil

Nothing like waking up to a winter wonderland! The whole village is blanketed in snow. The crisp air, the soft silence & the glistening white - pure magic! ❄️☃️ But I recognise the weather is not good news for many vulnerable people , so please take care & keep warm! #snow
