"In years to come, I believe, people will be asking how it was that government walked by on the other side when thousands of children were suffering abject deprivation, and failed to support them in their hours of need." Gordon Brown write for The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Glad to see the extension of the Household Support Fund and the scrapping of the £90 admin fee on Debt Relief Orders (DROs) in today’s budget, but more needs to be done to help hard-pressed #Darlington families pay for essentials and break free from debilitating debt.

It's a great time to be at St Teresa's Hospice and we're currently looking for two new trustees to join our board to strengthen our Marketing and our Clinical Teams. To find out more, please visit: ow.ly/YEne50QKI1n

Great input from the Lady Chief Justice, Young Citizens and Prof. Van Bueren KC at today’s Diversity and Community Relations Magistrates’ conference in Manchester today. The Magistrates' Association #PublicLegalEducation

Since you came into the world you've pulled hundreds of thousands of children into poverty. Like all children, we love to celebrate birthdays, but we will never support yours. The two-child limit to benefit payments should not last for another year.

A beautiful service at St Andrew’s Church today to rededicate bells and bless new bell ropes. Grateful thanks for the peeling of bells, bell ringers and willing service done with great love.❤️✝️🔔 Durham Bellringers Bellringers Guild

Grateful to #TheBreadandButterThing for inviting me to ‘The Well’ today to speak about Christians Against Poverty (CAP) UK with those collecting their food orders. #DebtAdvice

After a tragic house fire at our home in 2009 that claimed my father’s life and changed the course of our lives forever, I was finally able to thank the County Durham and #Darlington Fire and Rescue Service as I represented Mrs. Sue Snowdon, His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant tonight.

The #CAPUK stall at the #Darlington Carnival brought some hope and a little happiness to the town I call home. Thanks for stopping to chat today. #debthelp instagram.com/reel/C8zkBjtMa…

Proms in the Park 2024, Darlo style. A brilliant day of music, song and community.🇬🇧🎶❤️

Today we visited some of the spectacular Hummersknott area gardens that opened to the public in support of St Teresa's Hospice in #Darlington. Grateful to the gardeners who welcomed us in and the wonderful volunteers who organised admittance, raffle and tombola.❤️🌻

#StocktonInternationalRiverside Festival where folk celebrated #diversity and #inclusion, in stark contrast to what’s happened in some other towns and cities in recent days. Bubamara played their special brand of “music without anxiety”-just the medicine for these troubled times.

Ah, #Kynren, you were magnificent last night. I’m pretty sure the other 6,699ish people in attendance thought so too. #BishopAuckland #NorthEastEngland

Grateful for the Darlington Business Club invite to attend their monthly meeting to speak about becoming a magistrate. As Diversity & Community Relations magistrate for our local bench area my role is to promote the magistracy to lesser represented groups. Contact me to learn more.

Perfect weather for the final day of the ᴅᴀʀʟɪɴɢᴛᴏɴ Rhythm & Blues Festival 2024. Grateful to Darlington Borough Council for keeping this brilliant community tradition alive.☀️🎶❤️ #Rhythm&Blues

A “must read” for all in #Darlington who value the excellent, professional, community based, rapid care provided by St Teresa's Hospice. Investment in hospice care eases the pressure off the #NHS by preventing unnecessary hospital admissions and freeing up beds. Decision rethink required.

Fab to be at the ROC event last night with so many people and organisations that make life better in #darlington. Grateful to Pastors Vicky & Barry from Darlington Baptist Church who brought us together. Learning & Skills Darlington Durham PCC DACYM Darlington Borough Council Darlington Cares

Had a fantastic night in Jesmond at Newcastle’s only interactive music quiz- Late ‘n’ Live. Proud of Maria and Sam who are Marisam, the North East-based, female-led events company that were behind this thoroughly enjoyable evening of live music, music trivia and covetable prizes.

Absolutely loved @DarlingtonOS’ production of “Made in Dagenham”! The acting, singing, dancing, orchestra-every single moment was top class. If you want an evening of the joy that only a dose of musical theatre perfection can supply, you’ll not want to miss this one. #Darlington
