We presented at the Ocalicon conference last week on the subject of, how can we best support young people and adults who have become or at the risk of becoming social isolated, stuck in their bedrooms/homes and unable to get out.

Last week I was back meeting with CoSPA colleagues again at our 6 monthly network meeting, this time in Manchester.

Pat yourself on the back if you must… but please tell me something new. I see a lot of lovely LinkedIn posts where an organisation is congratulating itself for doing its job.

I went to a fantastic event last week in Edinburgh.  ‘Community Approach to Hoarding’.
