So delighted to share I’ve been awarded a CBE in the King’s New Year’s Honours List!
Very much a shared honour- so many folk nurture #readingforpleasure - making a difference to today’s young people. @barbarableiman.bsky.social @karlduke8.bsky.social @whatsfsaid.bsky.social @misterbodd.bsky.social

Just got to this - thanks - it is a tragedy I agree - personal relational education pushed to the limits.

‘If a drug boasted such benefits [as the arts] governments would be pouring billions into it. Instead, funding has been slashed across the culture sector.’
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Art Cure by Daisy Fancourt, professor of psychobiology and epidemiology at University College London, brings together numerous research projects confirming what we have always suspected - art is good for us. It helps us enjoy happier, healthier and longer lives. One study found that people who engaged regularly with the arts had a 31% lower risk of dying at any point during the follow-up period, even when confounding socioeconomic, demographic and health factors were taken into account.
Studies also show that visiting museums and attending live music events can make people physiologically younger, and a monthly cultural activity almost halves our chances of depression. As Fancourt argues, if a drug boasted such benefits governments would be pouring billions into it. Instead, funding has been slashed across the culture sector and arts education has been devalued and eroded in the UK.

Shrewd move! But I’ll bet you can anyway !

Teresa Cremin @teresacremin.bsky.social · 12d

Not sure what to say Gordon- but thank you ☺️

I too will read everything you write. From our first encounters in Macclesfield your insightful capacity to cut through to the core of all things educational shone through. Write - share - I’m listening and so are others ( and swearing this is happening) . Go for it Megan. Xx
