📣 📣📣 📣📣📣 Some sneaky pals nominated me for something, and I’ve been shortlisted. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to dedicate my life to social change, be it in the ‘care system’ reform, Wellbeing Economy, the NHS or now in violence reduction.

1/5 Now, more than ever before, we need #Scotland’s care sector, leaders, & allies of the cause to stand up & be counted. To make brave, bold decisions that probably will upset some. But, the care community has demanded a brighter tomorrow, and we owe it to them to make it happen
