It was good to visit @AcornsHospice earlier today with my constituency neighbour @AlistairCarns. Back in July, I called on the new government to provide long-term funding. I'm delighted that children's hospice funding has now been raised and confirmed for next year.

I hope this book is a useful resource for @CSTvoice leaders. It is intended to bring together our thought leadership over the years into the three nested leadership narratives of trust leadership (leadership of your organisation), civic leadership and system leadership.
As always, this episode of Mind the Gap a great watch. @LeoraCruddas has an excellent new book coming out with @JohnCattEd early in 2025, called NEW DOMAINS OF EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP. Check it out here: https://t.co/68tUdXDDTm
