There are many issues that can have an impact on men's health throughout their lives, including coronary heart disease, prostate cancer and poor mental health. AXA have created a useful on-demand webinar exploring the signs & symptoms for these conditions: sbee.link/xuapc4rd3w

Planning new national #suicideprevention strategy.
We’ve had a strategy for 20yrs.
In 2006 we had lowest suicide rate since records began in 1861.
In 2012, revised strategy included support for bereaved families.
What should big ideas be this time?

We are deeply concerned about proposals to phase out the 60+ Oyster Card over a period of several years. This is a regressive and counter-productive step that unfairly punishes future generations of older Londoners. Sign the petition here: sbee.link/4gywa6cq9d

Last summer, Resonance 104.4 featured Hackney Brocals. We meet Bob, who takes us on a tour of Shoreditch Park, & learn more about the group & the artist who designed the wallpaper currently exhibited at Hackney Museum. Take a listen! sbee.link/jnv6mt8q7h

While we tut at Le Pen, erosion of our liberties and the consolidation of state power quietly continues with only late night sessions by Lords to check creeping authoritarianism of this government. *All* future govts will have these powers, #Conservatives. #PolicingBill #protest
