What a week! Privileged and grateful to have attended @CitizensUK 's national six-day training this month.
Grateful for the reflections shared, the power built, the conversations had and the stories told.

A special thank you to the trainers @CitizensUK for all of your thought-provoking and inspiring sessions, and to @Bradford_Citz for making this possible. Thank you also to the team @Bham_Citizens for your wonderful hospitality!

You can hear some of our students from @dixonsaa speak about the need for increased mental health support in schools across the nation here at 1.08: xitter.cf/CitizensUK/status/1921…

Dear @bphillipsonMP, a healthy community supports everyone. But too many children are falling through the cracks and missing school or college without proper access to mental health support. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

We're really pleased that the Government has announced an expansion of mental health support teams to reach more schools, a key policy ask we've consistently advocated for in our campaign work with @CitizensUK.

Huge congratulations to Nathan & Ronnie from @DixonsUnity - winners of the JD Foundation Community Impact Award!
Their Unity Community project is now a thriving hub supporting local families every week. Proof of what’s possible when young people lead. 🌟

We're thrilled to announce that one of our incredible leaders, @DAT_JThompson, has contributed a chapter to a newly published book! A collaboration with other leaders from the sector including @tombennett71 and @jo_facer. (1/2)
Fabulous weekend with an inspiring group of people discussing power, change, leadership and all things community organising. Thank you @LeedsCitizens @Bradford_Citz for organising and for your efforts!
Great 2 days of organising training with leaders from Leeds and Bradford. We had leaders who came on after just 3 hours of sleep following a nightshift #hungryforchange

Our new #WomanOfTheNorth report lays bare the unequal challenges faced by women living in the North of England - who live shorter lives, work more hours for less pay and are more likely to be an unpaid carer than women in other regions of England 1/13 healthequitynorth.co.uk/vast…

@mkapree_ also worked on multiple @ChildoftheNort1 reports, the most recent being the Digital Futures report with @CfYoungLives where she wrote a FANTASTIC endword. She headlined the Digital Futures Webinar this week! n8research.org.uk/research-f…
Continuing my policy of only revisiting X to boost others - this year @mkapree_ has sat on @EALC_Bradford and @CHORAL_RESEARCH boards, headlined a UCL conference with Peter Mandelson, chaired a Citizens UK assembly, and has spent today meeting with the Northern Mayors. She's 21.
