1/ I have one thing to ask everyone I know: give those you love and care about an extra tight hug and always tell them how much they mean to you. My mum died suddenly last Friday. Until around an hour before she had a heart attack she wasn't poorly. I will be forever grateful
A massive thanks to @robertlaycock for facilitating, but also for working with others to offer these learning and leading sessions for those involved in bringing about social change across the North East.
I've had a stupidly busy day, but a definite highlight was protecting the time in my diary for the first @ywccommunity Action Learning Set. Learning from others and having the space to share opportunities and challenges and starting to form a plan to make progress. Very powerful!
We need some new Trustees at Acorns in North Tyneside. This is a charity that supports young people who have experienced domestic abuse in their families. If you are interested or know anyone that might be please message me or go to the Acorns website for details. Thanks j x

The #furloughing webinar hosted by @CFTyneWearNland and @MuckleLLP on 8 April is now fully booked. See you on Wednesday if you've managed to nab a place.
If you are making an application to SJKT please send it by email. In case we need to go to home working. We are moving to online applications shortly but until then - this would really help us. Thanks x
