Creative 😂😂😂, but in all seriousness, every #resister should take up journaling/leave behind for future generations an account of the darkest of times >
dumbest of times.

The rhetoric and the reality …care closer to home….from hospital to community….where the actual offer is bureaucracy and struggle, and the only solution is a care home.

Important reminder (and plea) to always look at what is actually in place behind the stated policy ambition.

For the last 5 months, I’ve spoken to Rosy as she’s fought for care. MND means she needs a ventilator and feeding tube and yet she has been denied 24/7 carers. Rosy is now losing her voice but wants to speak out. We should all listen.

Rosy is unable to move, breathe or eat unassisted. Yet for hours a day she is being left completely alone, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Good to see Reform explore the reimagining of the local state. I’m sure colleagues at Think Local Act Personal and National CoProduction Advisory Group will follow with interest & be happy to feed in any insights about what works.

…niche growing is easier in the cracks.But if we want flowers in bloom for all we need to get serious about breaking up the concrete. We need to begin growing gardens with people, responsive to the local conditions. Workplace cultures should be relational to their core. #MakingItReal #MakingItHappen

Hope binds. Kindness transforms.

Hope has its own power. Hope is dangerous to those who rely on division. To hold onto it, is to fight for it.

Image of a quote from Nick Cave "Unlike cynicism, hopefulness is hard-earned, makes demands upon us and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth. Hopefulness is not a neutral position, it is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act as small as you like, such as reading to your little boy or showing him a thing you love or singing him a song or putting on his shoes keeps the devil down in the hole. It says the world and its inhabitants have value and are worth defending. It says the world is worth believing in. In time we come to find that this is so."

We believe that everyone should have the care and support they need to be able to live their life their way. But what does that look like in practice? The 86 co-produced statements of Making It Real can tell us.

Explore them at makingitreal.org.uk #MakingItReal
A green background with text on it that says "We talk to people during and after significant changes to find out their requirements for care, support and housing have changed and to review their aspirations." A magenta pink background with text on it that says "We get permission before sharing personal information." A blue background with text on it that reads "I can choose who supports me, and how, when and where my care and support is provided." A purple background with text on it that reads "I feel welcome and safe in my local community and can join in community life and activities that are important to me."
