Delighted to work with Sabrina & team on this study. We are currently inviting *all* bereavement services to tell us how they are supporting people from ethnically diverse communities, so we can capture good practice & innovation. Pls RT. shorturl.at/pMWX1

In 2020, my brother died unexpectedly. I tried to access bereavement services which met the cultural & religious needs of 3 generations of my devastated British Pakistani family, but hit a brick wall. We have been awarded £422,000 by @NIHRresearch to fix this

When there’s more wealth, who has it and the income that accrues to it matters more.
We should start by taxing income from wealth like income from work.
The most important graph you'll see today - showing how the economy has been structured to favour wealth over work for a long time.
GDP is half what it would have been had trends to 1979 continued, while wealth is 3x

Do you work in education?
