On 9th July I'm speaking at the Creative Network with @CreativeLivesCL about my belief that writing should be more about freedom, self-expression, playful exploration and joy, than about outcomes. It's free for anyone to join if you'd like to participate. creative-lives.org/Event/cre….

I've been writing about grief for 8 years since my partner, Blacksmith Paul, died and have facilitated grief writing workshops ever since. This week, I'm bringing that work to @BBCSheffield with Paulette. We start the process today at 12pm. Find out more: beverleywrites.com/blog/writ…

This woman ♥ She's at the point we're all at. I don't know what it's called. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. My heart is so 💔 it will never mend.

You can feel this lady’s anger & pain. For 5 months #Palestinian children are being blown up by the #Zionist Occupation Force. Criminals #Biden & #Sunak continue to support #Gazans being driven to #Rafah most densely populated area in World to be Carpet Bombed! Where is Humanity?

“When you are in a court battle with a perpetrator, the trauma hasn’t necessarily been processed. You are still in it. It is afterwards when that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops. Victims are left more in the dark than anyone else.” Having to pay £1000s for transcripts compounds the injustice that keeps victims in the dark and prevents them healing. There should at the very least be a right to the judge’s summing up to the jury and their sentencing remarks.
Victims are being left in the dark in our justice system. The lack of transparency, due to incorrect advice and exorbitant fees for transcripts, leaves victims unable to process trauma and recover. We are calling for @OpenJustice4All in the #VictimsBill independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…
