I still can't believe this has happened!! Proud to have been appointed the first ever inclusivity champion of #WestYorkshire working with the collective leadership of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority @WYpartnership including @MayorOfWY @NHSWYChair #DreamsCanComeTrue

Community isn’t just where we live, it’s how we look after one another. Tonight, people of all faiths, races and backgrounds came together in the heart of our capital to break their fasts at Ramadan Tent Project’s Open Iftar. There’s always a place at the table in this city.

Our CEO @DrHNaqvi is speaking today at the NICE conference in Manchester. Alongside colleagues at NICE, we are reflecting on our partnership that was launched in 2025, including what’s been achieved so far and what more we can do together. Learn more: nhsrho.org/news/observato…

A family are urgently trying to raise money to fund an operation that they hope will change a teenager's life. Grace, 15, from Sheffield has a rare form of epilepsy with seizures that can last for hours. They need £40K for an operation unvailable on the NHS. Emma Padgin, mum:

I want to share my honest thoughts on Muslims in the UK. There's a lot of talk at the moment about Islam and grooming gangs and all kinds of stuff. So this is just my opinion. I've never in my entire life of meeting hundreds, if not thousands of Muslims, met a Muslim that is not a kind, sweet, honourable person. There are crazy people in every single group, church, organisation. Wherever there are people, there's always gonna be good, there's always gonna be bad. A lot of people who talk about the Quran, The Quran says this, the Quran says that and it says, kill people. I mean, I haven't read the whole book, but I've definitely read chunks, and I've seen verses taken massively out of context. People go, “The Quran says this!” And I've actually gone and looked it up, and it's like… no, it doesn't. That's not what it says at all. I'm not a scholar, I'm Christian. But I just wanted to say I love Muslims And I think that the more we can be united, the more people at the top, the better. I believe the elites, the rich and powerful, will deliberately say things and do things to stir up hate to keep everybody arguing. When everybody's arguing, when everyone's writing, when there's no peace, we don't think straight, and then we're easy to be brainwashed, controlled and manipulated. Love to everybody, every religion, every race.

A pleasure to celebrate International Women’s Day and Iftar alongside @mayorofwy and @shutcake. An inspiring night bringing people together across our communities. 🌙 #IWD

We must not deny the interdependence of local government and the NHS ift.tt/hJTiQMo

Modern health systems support the mental, physical and social needs of people. That means close working between NHS and local government at all levels 👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

“Why would we not want a state that helps us realise our capabilities?” On BBC Radio 4 this week, Academic Co-Director @ProfKEPickett discussed points from her new book, including this country's broken care systems and need to reframe the ‘Nanny state’. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Our CEO, Kirsty McHugh gave evidence at the Work and Pensions Committee on Carer's Allowance and what comes after the Overpayments Review. We know that Carer's Allowance is outdated, not fit for purpose and needs complete reform. Thank you to the @CommonsWorkPen Committee for looking at this vital issue which affects so many carers across the country.

West Yorkshire didn't wait for permission to put women at the centre of decisions. We just did it. 1,000 women. 1 region. 1 movement. West Yorkshire didn't just talk about women in leadership we built it. Fancy joining? Get in touch 💜 #IWD2026 #WomenOfWestYorkshire

Have been liaising w/ #Mosques & Imams following the alarming & deeply disturbing incident at Manchester Central Mosque- 2 men entered during night prayers carrying weapons, incl. axe, knife & hammer. #AntiMuslimhatred is undermining fundamental right of Muslims to worship safely

Weapons bought into mosque during #Ramadan prayers. This should concern all of us. Grateful no one was hurt, grateful for volunteers + police acting quickly but safety in worship isn't negotiable. More in my post below standing in solidarity with all impacted.

This isn’t just another certificate it’s another step in strengthening how we support @WestYorksPolice colleagues, embrace inclusivity, create workplaces where everyone can thrive. Here’s to growth, understanding, lifting others as we climb. #DyslexiaAwareness @BritIndianVoice
