Today’s the day some of the #investinslt team meet with Stephen Kinnock to discuss more investment in SLT
I know that those who can’t make the meeting will be there in spirit. We would’nt be here without each and everyone of you. 💙
Here’s hoping for something good to come from this. 🤞

Following the #investinSLT debate, I have a meeting pencilled in, on Monday 24th March, with Stephen Kinnock (Minister of State at the Department of Health and Social Care).
10 years of raising awareness, making connections and campaigning and finally those who can bring are starting to listen.
