πŸ“Έ Photography enables memories... We all know that! πŸ’­ Imagine, however, a confidence boosting shoot that stays with you time after time after time... 🀩 It's a privilege to do what we do.

PS. Messages like this gives me a happy dance every time! πŸ₯°

He's right... It's a bit warm to be talking about hoodies today! πŸ˜„ It's so so going to be worth it, though. The #AccessibleHoodie #2 is well on its way and should be back looking after #cancerPatients soon not only here in the #EastMidlands but across the UK!! #CancerSucks #Oncology #ChemoWarrior

Out of the studio at various meetings, today. I was asked how college was going... Still don't know whether to be thrilled or offended. My kids aren't sure either πŸ˜‚

Photo of a blue sky with green trees at the bottom. There's also a sign that says "boathouse" on top of a hut which (as you've probably guessed) hires out boats.

Thank you to the wonderful team at #DerbyTheatre for a fab event with #JohnGodber. Fab stories but also sobering chats on the lack of support for the #arts. I also had a chat about the work of our #charity... It amazes me how versatile our work is - the arts are needed!

Does a #JobTitle really matter? My unique, morphed, role sees me use #radio, #photography, marketing & general chatting to fulfil my role advocating #cancer. Yup - I just used the phrase "advocate cancer". Does "dot joiner" cover it...?

Nothing better than an early start for a day of meetings with our #CharityTrustees... Plus a #composer, #journalist and a #PantoDame. (Oh yes I am!) I'm looking forward to meeting a survivor of #ProstateCancer, tomorrow, too. I have an eclectic job but I wouldn't swap it for the world. ❀️ #Derby

Today, #Derbyshire, and the world, celebrates #InternationalWomensDay. I'm incredibly fortunate in that I get to celebrate #women every single week! Whatever you're up to, today, remember to take some time for you and celebrate your own achievements... #Career, personal life or with #cancer.

I'm so impressed with @easyfundraising.bsky.social. I thought it would be full of faff & I couldn't be more wrong! It's so easy to use and I can continue to do my online shopping as usual - it just works around me. #BeBoldBeYou Foundation is going to really benefit from this 🧑

'The government placed prevention as a cornerstone of the health mission. While increasing the public health grant is very welcome, it will need to be backed up with a multi-year plan to fully restore the grant to 2015–16 levels by the end of this parliament.'

Adam Briggs, Senior Policy Fellow at the Health Foundation

Responding to today's public health grant announcement, @admbriggs.bsky.social says it is a welcome first step in putting prevention at the heart of the government's agenda.

After a decade of cuts, however, it needs to be backed up by a plan to restore the grant to 2015–16 levels ⬇️
