Today, with @turninglivesaround.bsky.social colleagues, I'm showing racism the red card by wearing red.

We have had an increasing number of hate incidents where colleagues are encountering racism in the community.

Rising needs and complexity; rising hope in the sector that we can work together to reduce #homelessness. It was good to chair the #Homelessness Prevention Forum this morning with passionate colleagues talking about women's rough sleeping, sport, and partnership work with Leeds City Council.

Packed room for the Third Sector Partnership meeting with Leeds City Council.

Surprising for an in-person on a Monday morning?

Not really when you know how passionate VCSE partners are and how willing LCC colleagues are to work together to serve the residents of #Leeds.

Hearing from Ed Whiting at the Third Sector Health and Care Leaders network meeting.

It's a tough picture this year but he has optimism for Leeds City Council over the next 5-10 years.

He's praising third sector partners; we are all keen to work together to serve the residents of #Leeds

@kwajo.bsky.social is rousing the room with his story of lived experience of #homelessness, and challenging us to ask the hard questions at the @worldhabitat.bsky.social conference today.

At this West Yorkshire workshop we're discussing how to share data, be flexible and improve relationships to house and support people who are #homeless

Great that Rachel Reeves visited us at @turninglivesaround.bsky.social today. We had a good talk about our services, the challenges we face and how the government can help us. I'm confident there will be good news for the #homelessness sector in the spending review next week.

300 #homelessness professionals in the room for the @homelesslink.bsky.social Summer Conference. The theme of the opening session is optimism. We all need to have hope that things can improve. #underoneroof

I like the C&R Trust, but the wording on this ad may need altering... Made me smile so I couldn't resist sharing!

Talking #homelessness prevention with Chris Keating of Connection Support at #HomelessLinkConf. Homelessness is largely predictable: childhood poverty and trauma are big factors. There has been a shocking 60% increase in children being separated from parents. We need more upstream prevention.

Good to hear from Jessica Turtle, Co-Founder of @ourmoh.bsky.social Museum of #homelessness talking about her own lived experience of surviving trauma, and the importance of love in prevention and crisis intervention

This International Women's Day #IWD #IWD2025 I want to pay tribute to all of the amazing women who work at @TLivesAround and throughout the #homelessness sector. You are passionate, compassionate and inspiring.

Well, #ACEVOfest was good. Some moving speakers on leading through tough times and lots of other discussions

Helping homeless people back into work. Good to meet with Carl from Howarths Foundation about how they support businesses to employ formerly homeless people in West Yorkshire.

Back out on the bike again at last, first time this year! Looking forward to chairing the #Leeds Homelessness Prevention Forum at HEART in Headingley this morning.

This is great news. I hope pension funds around the country, including the West Yorkshire Pension Fund, follow this good example and invest in local initiatives to tackle #homelessness

Happy Christmas everyone. I'm clocking off apart from being on call for emergencies. I want to thank all my amazing colleagues in the #homelessness sector for covering shifts over the holidays.
