We worked with the team behind the no 1 Netflix doc "A British Horror Story" about Jimmy Savile. Here is why we think this programme works to deepen our understanding about sexual abuse, grooming and our role as bystanders. Huge 👏 to the @Angles_project network & @chiaravare.
How we tell stories - and who gets to tell them - matters.
On the face of it new @Netflix documentary A British Horror Story is all about Jimmy Savile.

I don't say this lightly. As a gay person who was very conscious of my difference from a very young age, the "culture of silence" that I experienced, that this Labour MP is proposing, was an incredibly traumatic and damaging experience.

This has been a weird, at times absurd, election. But behind the scenes, civic tech volunteers are working day and night to improve the state of democracy in the UK. Really delighted to have been able to work with one of the best examples of civic tech: @voteforpolicies 1/8

📢Stop defending children's palliative care #CPC & start championing it🙌
One of the fab takeaways from our keynote at @TheAPPMuk Nurses' Networking & Education Day last week.
Brilliant to get everyone thinking about how to collectively shift the narrative on CPC💫

"We’re currently living through one of the most hostile periods for trans people in the 21st century. But on screen, across all genres, all roles, and all networks, transgender stars are beginning to flourish".

👇 Stigma is a powerful force that holds poverty in place.
It enables and exacerbates inequalities. Loosening stigma's grip is a key lever of social change.

Last year we embarked on an exploration into Stigma and Poverty taking a participatory and power sharing approach to redefining the problem and working up priority areas for action and investment.

“The Government must listen to the people, abandon this deplorable deal with Rwanda…and protect those who need sanctuary”
We stand in solidarity with everyone speaking out for migrant justice. Together we’ll continue to work towards a society built on care and mutual respect✊
✊🏽We are standing together against the cruel Rwanda Act.
That is why we & 250 other organisations wrote to the PM about about our shared outrage on this despicable assault on the most marginalised in our society.

We love exloring how our #climate communication principles can be applied in creative new ways.
🤣 A while back, we spoke with comedian @jessicafostekew on how to frame the climate crisis in comedy.
Jessica updated us with some amazing news this week...

Drop what you're doing, and read the best piece on the Cass review, by @freddymcconnell:
"Hilary Cass’s proposals are mostly common sense. She must reject anti-trans bias with the same clarity."
