Such an inspirational discussion by @patmcardle51 on homelessness and why the system needs to change. These services often trap people within them and on the streets with no hope. Focusing on a person’s problems only allows them to move so far. #AD4Efestival

I spent today having conversations with people who were sleeping rough during lockdown. So many examples of people feeling othered and isolated. People are constantly turned into labels and dehumanised. It's like we're scared of being human or having a human response #bemorehuman

George has been part of the Mayday team for the past year and we couldn't have had nicer things to say about him, that was until he decided to jump out of a plane and raise money on Mayday's behalf.. we think you'll agree this makes him a #legend!

Thank you @MaydayTrust for this morning's excellent @SMITF_frontline reflections on strength-based working to counter the difficulties of a deficit system. We couldn't agree more with the importance of a truly person-led approach and ensuring we work with a strength mindset.

Absolutely fantastic blog from our very own @Rebecca_mayday! Sometimes we do need to just do 'nothing'. #personled #PTS
"I saw it as an opportunity to rethink the way we deliver services. As a society, we were experiencing what it was like to be isolated. I thought COVID-19 was going to be a leveller..." @Rebecca_mayday's latest blog: https://t.co/gPmz5AMaL5
