Leaving work on Friday felt almost magical with these lights - I don’t think they are even for Xmas but just the regular lights! Lucky me 😊#TowerHamlets

Today is White Ribbon Day, a global initiative calling on men to make the promise to never commit excuse or remain silent about male violence against women. Sign the pledge and make the promise online: orlo.uk/TfD5V #WhiteRibbon #AllMenCan #MakeThePromise
I had such a fantastic time at Create Day Service this week. Loved the climate change wall art by members and speaking to staff about their aspirations for the future service. Incredible team, incredible vision @TowerHamletsNow #learningdisabilities #coproduction
