Really disappointed with @celebritycruise for their lack of customer service today not facilitating a change of seat for a carer to sit beside a special assistance passenger. This is going to cause a big problem with my flights on Monday. Not good enough and frankly, not safe.

Great feedback from @5asideCHESS at the recent #UKCW2023 Birmingham. There's so much work to be done to improve mental health among the workforce in the construction industry. UKCW champions a Culture Change in Construction through working with industry leaders and partners.

It was a real pleasure for us to visit you last Friday. So many meaningful conversations. Look forward to working with you closely over the coming months #your1stmoveishello #checkonyamate #connectionmakescommunity
♟️🙌 Our Girls on Side and Veterans programme had a special visit from the @5asideCHESS 'Battling Suicide Bus'. 💙 The bus, displaying personal messages from people who have been affected by suicide, aims to raise awareness for suicide and promote positive mental health.
