Popped along to ‘charity heaven’ today - otherwise known as Longfield Community Hospice Warehouse. Wow! The team are amazing and I had no idea how complex the work of our charity’s retail arm is.

Starting the year ahead…

Not my fireplace but it is my dog. ☺️🥰

Grateful for a family Christmas 🙏🏻👏🏻🎄

Just watching The Resident (Netflix) and they are doing an excellent job of debunking myths about the word ‘hospice’. Not just for ‘the very end’.

@netzerochris.bsky.social good to connect here Chris ☺️

And warm wishes to you too Donna.

It really was. I was supposed to be working but reflected on missing my own parents. 💙

Totally agree. I was an Erasmus student from Uk to Germany giving me a wider education and a changed outlook on the world and friends I still have now - 36 years later. My daughter recently travelled and visited one of those friends - evidencing the impact on two generations (so far).

I attended Longfield’s Light Up A Life event yesterday, a music and spoken word celebration of the lives of people we love who have died. It was an incredibly moving and special afternoon.

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

1% of care leavers in the UK go to uni. While this should not be deemed the ultimate goal for everyone, I was still privileged to attend the Graduation ceremony of our young friend whose journey to receive her 2:1 was one of the hardest I’ve come across without doubt. #CareLeavers #YoungCarers

Well…let’s leap into the wild bluesky yonder…
