As a result of our #digitalchampiontraining with @LinkingLeeds, one social prescriber is now linked with @TheTechLadder1 and just received 2 laptops for patients in Seacroft enabling them to access support for their mental health. @TheTechLadder1 you’re amazing thank you! 😊

So much kindness today. A mountain of food from individuals for 1/2-term, a gift of £200 from Bramley Dental Care to @BrleyCareBears, a huge delivery of food from @BARCALeeds to @bramleycarebears and... a street-collection organised by neighbours on the Astons. Just...wow!

We have now passed 35,200 signatures. Thank you to everybody supporting the petition.
Been really encouraged by Twitter support to get the Down Syndrome hatewear t-shirts (there are many designs btw, this is the most ‘polite’) off @Amazon. Thank you for your support, Tweeps. Here’s a petition to keep them off.
