It's definitely made me challenge my own views and more importantly my actions. I have learnt that anti racism is an action, a state of being and something that should be apparent and measurable. A big thanks to the panel for sharing their experiences and advice.

Good point about how most conferences and speeches about #DomesticViolence are heard by women. This is certainly my experience, men are so frequently not part of the conversation.

Great to hear @David_Challen talking to @GloriaDePiero on @TimesRadio speaking out for men to take action to stop #ViolenceAgainstWomen and #CoerciveControl

Another Saturday morning #FamilyGroupConference today. Had an Uncle join us direct from a building site on his break from work. So great to see a family pulling together to commit to helping the youngest member of their network.

Nearly end of the day call to a Mum. She has a small baby, is moving house and is very busy, but still made sure to book me in for a call next week, she's so keen to get her #FGC started.
