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.

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.

It was a privilege to support you Zoe by debating my Private Members Bill in @UKHouseofLords about lowering the #stillbirth definition which would be beneficial to thousands of people who suffer trauma, disadvantages and heartache @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
