Stark data at Ambitious about Inclusion conference hosted by @centreforyounglives.bsky.social & @mission44.bsky.social. Given diverse challenges of the vast region of SW England, I hope that pledges turn into concrete action. In Bristol, challenges are huge but also rooted in our specific context.

Another fantastic and free event for women from all backgrounds to get our bodies moving, learn new #dancing skills & talk about #perimenopause and #menopause together. Ready to learn #bhangra with me? www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/south-asia... #mentalhealth #exercise #mindbodysoul #wellbeing #movement
