Thank you @seburrows7 - looks too have been a great learning session. Good governance, including handling conflicts of interest a critical foundation for effective boards. @BoardAppr
Lil is an outstanding public servant. She was the first person I met when joining @cabinetofficeuk and I felt honoured to be the last person she met on her final day. Sending all love her way. We will miss her as will @OssieEvieCO
Lilian has served 34 years on doors and receptions across Whitehall departments, and retires Friday.
A lifetime of service to our Country; her son was in the Falklands War too. Was a privilege to meet her
Thanks for the support. It is a great initiative. I attended the @HeywoodFndation board meeting this week who have stepped forward to host an apprentice. Brilliant stuff

Our @nichildrenshosp family deliver high quality palliative care & create lasting memories for families. @RishiSunak joined us yesterday more as a father than PM, engaging in private with some families & then his public singing debut! youtu.be/XJb-1ySqaSI
@hweir18 and I are so proud of our @NIHospice@nichildrenshosp teams, who have arms outstretched ready to wrap them around babies, little children, adults and their families who need our help.
Within those arms, their symptoms will be controlled, their fears allayed.
Please RT to send your love and prayers to this special family who invited @RishiSunak to meet their beautiful baby girl. Born with a life limiting diagnosis, spent her first few days being cared for by the amazing @nichildrenshosp team. #dowhatmatters 🙏 🤲💕#supporthospice

We have been working with our resilience partners across Shetland to set up warm hubs after adverse weather conditions caused power outages across the area. Hear from Ian McCormack about the fantastic community spirit at Bixter Community Hall. #CommunitySpirit
