I had the pleasure of attending the 3rd Annual Boys' Impact conference. Nicki Shore and I delivered a presentation on the work the Lincolnshire Boys' Impact Hub have been doing to engage FSM boys in education. Nicki Shore has been an absolute powerhouse in driving the project forward.

Recently @nickipierce.bsky.social was invited to not only share her research at @pintofscience.uk but also had the opportunity of two local artists creating pieces inspired by it! The art now sits with pride in the FYFF office and Nicki has blogged about the experience and the artworks created.

Read my blog on my Creative Reactions experience.

Read @ruthndwrites.bsky.social insightful report on how we can stop perinatal loneliness. It highlights the need for family friendly professional support in the perinatal period.
