1950s cartoon in Punch book. Didn’t get message then, but setting up psychotherapy practice in 2001, recalled it. Sister found book, I had cartoon enlarged, framed & put in reception. Life is similar now, but business man would have computer on desk, train & home.#worklifebalance

The 16 Days of Activism (which started yesterday) is an opportunity to revitalise commitments to end VAWG & call for accountability & action from decision-makers. Proud to show my support with the beautiful @SoroptimistBFS banner hanging in my constituency office window 🤍

Over 600 Soroptimists from the UK, Ireland, and beyond came together for the SIGBI Edinburgh Conference. It was a great way to reunite with friends, build new connections, and share ideas on supporting women and girls. #SoroptimistEdinburgh2024 #SIBelfast #Soroptimist #sigbi
