Please re-Tweet if you agree: At its core, good #caregiving is about finding a way to communicate — listening, watching and empathizing — to learn and respond to what the other person wants, needs and feels.

@AmazonUK B.E.N. crew working hard to create a lovely green space outside our office. They dug out all the weeds & bedded some beautiful plants 😍 Teamwork really does make the dream work 👌🏾 Thank you all much 💐 The Elders truly appreciate it. 💖

We believe in the power of story-telling to highlight injustices.
Our film with @J4Windrush reached nearly 1M views and caught the attention of key decision makers. But the scandal is ongoing and there’s more work to do. Watch the full film on our website.

It’s Windrush Day. Sixty-nine years ago Sidney McFarlane arrived in Dover from Jamaica. Now he’s back, with an important message for Sunak and Starmer
So much more needs to be done in Leeds for this day. The Windrush generation, in the face of resistance remained resilient & most recently others have suffered unnecessarily! Education, appreciation & growth of the following generations is needed 👊🏾

It’s #DementiaActionWeek.
A dementia diagnosis can come as a shock to the person with the condition and those around them. However, there are sources of help and support for everyone involved: nhs.uk/conditions/dementia
