Unified by the game.
Our shared national moments represent the very best of who we are through passion, courage, pride, friendship and teamwork.
Thank you Lemn for uniquely capturing this spirit and good luck to 🏴 and 🏴 in #WorldCup

“My inspiration for Eight Games is us - all of us - unified. When I see football crowds watching a game, I see the society I want to live in: people of all backgrounds supporting their team and each other, cheering together, laughing together, crying together.
“Eight games is the maximum any nation can play at this World Cup. But however many we play, the whole tournament is a chance to create that magical feeling of unity, to lift each other's spirits and to show what we are capable of.
“I am done with hatred, done with division and done with misplaced anger. Yes, our brilliant football teams may not win. But we can. We can win.”

To mark the start of the World Cup, Lemn Sissay OBE has penned a new work - Eight Games - which celebrates football’s ability to bring people from different backgrounds, cultures and generations together.

It was great to speak at @libsconnected Annual Seminar today. Public Libraries are open to all providing access to knowledge, services and (not least) books at the heart of our communities. I'm proud to be working on a libraries strategy to help them continue to thrive 📖
