It's #CarersWeek2020 as many of you know I'm an #unpaidcarer and proud to support @WeAreCarers. Making carers feel #visibleandvalued is the least possible thing the Government owes. We need a #carersstrategy now.

Tomorrow please take one minute silence at 11am to pay respect to all those front line workers and all workers who have died.

I'm really enjoying my time as a mutual aider during the #COVID19 lockdown. The ability to do small things that really help people means so much. Today's small tasks added up to 4hrs of voluntary activities, yet I have rarely felt more fulfilled. #community is everything.

Please join in tonight at 8pm to show our appreciation for the amazing dedication of all the NHS and Care Workers who are keeping the vital health services working at this vital moment in our Country.

I'm not going to be using this account very much during the Covid19 crisis, as a carer and mother who is suddenly an A level tutor my hands are quite full. Please follow the advice from @PHE_SouthEast and @NHSuk and keep yourselves safe during this time.

So honoured to be chosen as one of the speakers for this #IWD2020 event in #Medway This is such a lovely venue tucked away and I'm excited to visit it again, do join us.

Amazing work this morning by part of our local team. A lovely way to start spring.

Regarding the Faversham Town Council by elections m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

This is how women express solidarity, we show that we are delighted to be seen exactly the same as the person who is the target of criticism. Because it is never ok to decide that you have the right to judge another person by what they wear.

Our first Branch Meeting of 2020 is tonight at 7.30pm at the Purifier Building behind Morrisons in Faversham. All members in our Branch area welcome so do please come along.

This weekend I helped a community project for local homeless people, supported a woman going through horrendous domestic abuse and continued my voluntary role on the community allotments. Elections don't give you value or validation, you earn it every single day.

So proud to help with the community collection for Catching Lives today. By small gestures of kindness we can make a huge difference to people's lives. Make 2020 a year of hope.

A massive thank you to everyone who saw me in #faversham today at the #ChristmasMarket and stopped to wish me well and congratulate me on the teams efforts. We may not have won but the goodness of people is really shining through.

Despite the fact last night when out with friends I had a very positive welcome in town I'm really sad to hear about other candidates getting abuse. Today I'm hearing of my team having to report intimidating behaviour to the police. This just isn't acceptable or democratic.

It was a hugely dissapointing night. Both here and nationally. Yes we went down on our vote margin, but still held 2nd place in extremely difficult times. After being selected late in the process I did my very best to represent you for Labour here. Thank you all again.
