Had the most amazing time at @Wimbledon yesterday in the Royal Box watching some brilliant #tennis. My beloved mum would have been so happy for her daughter as that was something she wished for me to experience. Thank you Wimbledon for making her dream come true ❤️

Yes it finally happened thanks to you Zoe and your @SayingGoodbyeUK charity. Your hard work, dedication and perseverance has paid off. But there is still more to do especially getting the #Stillbirth Definition being lowered @UKHouseofLords.
We did it!. Absolutely thrilled that another of the PLR recommendations is going to be implemented. I’m disappointed that the committee is only considering one weeks leave at this present time, but it will still be a significant step forward in the acknowledgment that leave is

At least the government has offered to work with us to support those who suffer Baby Loss and #Stillbirth before 24wks. It took you 10yrs to achieve Certificates for Baby Loss so you know how to keep persevering and lobbying for change @SayingGoodbyeUK.

I so loved speaking at Halesowen College’s ‘Whole College Conference’ about inspiring and making a difference to their students lives. Many of my #Playschool Babies were there and doing just that @halesowencoll ❤️.
Yesterday, staff from across college came together for our inaugural ‘Whole College Conference’, held at Walsall FC Bescot Stadium. The event was highlighted by two truly outstanding and inspirational guest speakers, Baroness @FloellaBenjamin and @jonnykayteacher . #Inspired
