I had the pleasure of being invited to speak at two RCN AGMs last week discussing activism in nursing. Loved the energy, great member engagement, and real hope for the future of organising. Thanks to everyone who came along✊

In 1951, trade unions bought Wortley Hall to create a space for education, rest, and collective strength. I was lucky enough to be there last week for training—amazing sessions, rich history, and a real sense of history in every room. #union
