Attending the #WLVInclusivityConference virtually today and thoroughly enjoying the discussions. Great to see more discussions about co-creation with those who have lived experience (both students and staff) and a focus on inclusion at all levels and corners of our organisation

Finished my final coaching session with @flourishedminds today & I can’t sing their praises enough. I’ve been working on my self care and the progress I’ve made in 8 weeks has been amazing. Don’t underestimate the value of an accountability partner & someone who genuinely cares.
