  Being Present in Relationships The time we have in life is so limited. We have to balance family, friends, careers, personal wellbeing and how we act as a citizen in the world. I work in the charity sector supporting exploited and marginalised people groups. I tend to give my all to my job, going above and beyond to support those in need as much as I can. However… I have been challenging this approach recently. My motivation to commit my time to assisting those most vulnerable in society has not reduced in the slightness. Rather I think it is one of the best things we can devote our time, money and energy to. I have just been thinking about why charities exist. I believe if community functioned effectively -…

5 ‘helpful hashtags’ I will use in 2020.

    I feel so privileged to have been asked to write an article for Freedom 2’s blog ‘For the 1’,  which is a series of blogs aiming to empower each and every one of us to inspire and help others.

Anti Bullying Week 2019 Have you ever been stung by a bee? Yes, its very painful, but the reason why it is so painful is that its stinger is released into your skin. It is leaving behind a venomous toxin that can cause a lot of pain and other symptoms. So why am I giving a lesson on bees and giving information that you probably already know? Well this week is Anti-bullying week 2019, ‘Change starts with us’ and whenever anyone talks about bullying or I hear it mentioned, it always takes me back to a place and time to when I was bullied at school.
