Today is #WorldDiabetesDay and I recently interviewed Dawn about her experience of #menopause and #diabetes for @JDRFUK. She opened my eyes on the way tech can help and how important it is to talk to others.

I co-wrote this blog with @annieislaurie about putting patients at the heart of #HealthLiteracy. Thanks to @HelloDifference for highlighting the importance of empowering people in healthcare comms.
#HealthLiteracyMonth #PatientInvolvement
In our latest blog, we look at how putting patients at the heart of health literacy work gives you a unique perspective so your content is relevant, easily understood and makes a positive impact.

@ElsMassey & I met up recently for a coffee and IRL chat! ☕ We’ve collaborated on a charity comms project together, but never met in real life. It can be lonely working on your own, so I try and take opportunities to meet up with people where possible.

The #CostOfLivingCrisis is already starting to have a huge impact on charities and those they support.
Last week we shared some of the ways charities are communicating the crisis. Here are a few more useful things we've seen. 🧵👇 #CostOfLiving

You have until next Tuesday (3rd May) to get your application in to be an intern in our team! 🙂 Mostly focusing on communications and public affairs work but a chance to do some research bits as well - 1 year paid at the London Living Wage.

I'm supporting some awesome families to tell their experiences around childcare for @suttontrust's #AFairStart campaign.
It's time the government gave #AFairStart to ALL children 👇
"If it wasn’t for the extra funded nursery hours, I’m not sure I’d be able to work."
In the next blog in our #AFairStart series, we hear from Steph Griffin-Wright, who has benefited from the extra hours of funded childcare on offer by @CamdenCouncil 👇

A useful article from @lizzie_pring and @CharityComms on making a strong case for #comms when you're in a small or medium sized charity 👉
I wrote a blog for @CharityComms sharing thoughts on how we can make a strong case for #comms. I think we need to get better at describing and proving our value and have shared some ideas from my work with #charities @ImpetusPEF charitycomms.org.uk/making-t…

Access to early years education in England is unequal and unfair.
The poorest children are locked out of vital opportunities.
You can help change this.

I loved speaking to the wonderful Sheila for this blog for @CanalRiverTrust What an incredible person she is and she spoke so eloquently about the difference #volunteering has made to her life 👇 #copywriting
Getting something in return is usually the last thing that people think of when considering becoming a #volunteer 🤝
However, the rewards can be life-changing for many people in a variety of ways 💙

Pure joy to join the always brilliant, inspiring and tireless @Maryhill_IN campaigners at Westminster today. They travelled from Glasgow to remind MPs and peers that giving people seeking asylum the right to work has overwhelming public backing - and is commons sense! #LiftTheBan
