It’s well worth taking 2 minutes to read this thread. The biggest thing I learned from a decade working in probation is that helping people change their lives needs to be driven by endless wells of empathy & patience. This is a great example.

After my talk
about Covid:
the look of loss
in a man’s face
as he tells me of
a weakness
in every part of his body.
The look of loss
in a woman’s face
as she tells me of
a heart that
suddenly pumps
at a rate
that leaves her
weak and breathless.

When we worked together at Ch4, Paul O’Grady insisted that new roles on his show were advertised in the local Job Centre. He wanted anyone and everyone to be able to apply so they could get a break like he had. And it made the show better. A kind and generous man.

Did you know, the iconic & quirky Nando’s font was created by an artist named Marks Salimu, a classically trained sign-writer. Marks handpainted all the letters and characters onto wooden panels, which were later digitized and turned into a font ready for use all over the world♥️
