ALT The coffin of Lance Corporal George Hooley returns home to the UK.
ALT Extract from George's personal letter home, shared at the request of his family. 'If you're reading this, it means I didn't make it home. Please don't let that be the thing that breaks you. You know I was doing what I believed in as well as loved, with people I respected, and for reasons that mattered to me, my country and democracy and freedom in this world. I was proud of what I was doing. Don't remember me with sadness and loss. Be proud. I went out doing what I trained to do, what I chose to do, and I had all of you in my heart the whole way'.
ALT A screenshot of a Times online article showing a construction worker in a white hard hat sitting with his head bowed and hand over his face, appearing exhausted. The headline reads: “Young workers miss out on £1m when they drop work through sickness.” The sub-heading says a review by Sir Charlie Mayfield found young people are leaving the workforce at an unprecedented rate, “costing themselves and the country millions.” The opening line incorrectly states that every young person who leaves work due to long-term sickness “costs the state £1 million over their lifetime.”
ALT This is a mindmap I created that is titled ‘Daily Thoughts of an Autistic Person’. In the middle there is a human head and various arrows that point out to different thoughts. The thoughts are: What do they really mean by that and how should I respond? My stomach hurts. Can I spare the energy? I don’t want to be here. Why am I here? Time to escape! Ooh, that’s too loud/too bright! I’m overwhelmed. I need to unclench my entire face/body. I’m so burnt out. When can I rest? Who am I? I must not forget to smile! All of the font is black and the background is a very pale blue/green.
