I can't understand why this isn't having a lot of money poured in. Especially as a black woman is taking the labour of bridging divided communities caused by many things inc Brexit. Civil Society need to stop rolling @MsIbegbuna out for just inspiration, and paying for the work.
Had the most frustrating conversation with a funder yesterday. Turned our application down twice because they cannot see how Roots ‘directly benefits communities’ Where to even begin.....😫

Very Simple Toby knows the Chesterfield people were mislead, lied to etc over Brexit and that most people actually don't want to leave now. At least until it has been explained properly and a Vote held, Not an opinion gathering exercise like last time.

People are the 'primary providers' of their healthcare. They need support to keep themselves well, seek treatment early, and care for themselves when they are ill. Putting people at the centre of our decisions about health and care services is the only way we will transform them!

This is a remarkable story of human compassion and phenomenal generosity. It’s a long read at over 1,000 words - but it was a pleasure to write every single one of them. Well done to the generous people in Holymoorside who have helped - and continue to support - Nuno.
