@theAliceRoberts my little boy loves your programs. He found this very old shoe on the beach near Walmer castle, he thinks it might be Tudor and he asked me to send you some pictures. What do you think it is? He’s seen similar when we went to the Mary Rose. #history

I used to work in a brilliant, early intervention, multidisciplinary team of schools, social services and CAMHS. We supported hundreds of children and families, won awards, learned so much…and then the funding ran out. We are left with this.😢 #MentalHealthAwareness

This is a beautiful family I supported when I ran the Play Well Trust. I am so sad that they are having such an awful time when their little one is on a palliative care ward @GOSHCharity . 😢
