What a fantastic afternoon at the #ABetterMedway awards. We were honoured to win the Outstanding Contribution to Adult Mental Health award for our work in Luton and Brompton, & receive our Gold Healthy Workplace award too.

Thank you #Medway Public Health! Congrats to all the other winners too!

Ireland Makes a Program Offering Basic Income for Artists Permanent After a successful three-year pilot, the country will continue to provide 2,000 artists with $1,500 per month

What a brilliant idea. Arts and creativity are so important to a country's cultural health and soft power, as well as their economic health. I would love to see this in the UK

A poignant day. Proud that @nucleusarts.bsky.social is supporting the #BatonOfHope as it travels through #Medway, but wishing it wasn't needed.

Well done to everyone involved, and check out the installations in both the @halpernpop.bsky.social & #Medway #ArtBox #Rochester
