This was an inspiring evening with Citizens UK and representatives from around the country. I was there with Nottingham Citizens calling for three main political parties to commit to the #Citizensmanifesto

More fab pictures from the Citizens UK General Election Assembly tonight. I hope the politicians present know that these people will remember their commitments. We will return to our communities and continue organising, holding whoever is in Government to account.

Can't tell you how much I would love to do this if I could make the date. I am up for Cradley Heath if that's ever a photowalk. #lovetheblackcountry

I will be there with @nottswomenscent

A huge turnout of fabulous people today Notts Pride. This year @nottswomenscent led the march

This blog from Wish70 on our trip to Namibia is great. I absolutely loved the country and our travelling companions - a real mixed bunch. If you go do your research - the legacy of genocide and apartheid are visible but sensitive to talk about.

Huge current interest in working with the public to make better decisions. I get many requests on how to commission, plan, do, & learn from deliberation and participation. It's a hot topic - so I'm excited to share involve new Training newsletter - let us know what you think!
