"The Welcoming helped me find a good life in Edinburgh." When Khalid arrived in Edinburgh as a refugee from Syria, he didn’t know anyone. No friends. No connections. Just a new city and the challenge of starting over.

🤔 Did you know 123 volunteers gave 3279 hours of their time to support Edinburgh's New Scots?! To everyone who helps make this city feel warm, welcoming and connected - thank you. We appreciate you. 🧡 Read more about our volunteers: bit.ly/3TlklBa

Some great ideas on how to make our communities more welcoming. We especially agree that just having courageous conversations in everyday life has a deeply positive impact. That's why it's so important for us to bring people together from volunteers to employers to meet New Scots in Edinburgh!

💙 Today marks 77 years since the foundation of the NHS: a landmark moment in history. International nurses have made a huge and vital contribution since 1948. This powerful image by Neil Kenlock, captures nurse Olga Grant in 1972. 📸 Image credit: The Neil Kenlock Archive #NHS #HistNursing

@mmgeissler.bsky.social Just wanted to to say that the Czar of Hearts is excellent 👏 As a Hearts fan who lived through that period, it so accurately reflects the turmoil of the Vlad era. My JKB moniker of the time "What have the Romanovs ever done for us?" reflects my positive (yet conflicted) view

How can I have got to this stage of my career & STILL type reserach rather than research? I have been working in, or with, research for around 30 years & still get it wrong 😡 I have set up autocorrect on everything I can, but it still annoys me! There I've said it now, back to the reserach...dammit!
