‘The library and the bookies… both warm. Both enticing. Both open?’ I am alight with anger at the fiscal systems perpetuating (and profiting from) addictions whilst individuals and communities suffer. Save the libraries, save the world! #ALLIANCEConf24 cilips.org.uk/dear-blantyre-…
Fran was delighted to attend The ALLIANCE annual conference today with our friends at Simon Community Scotland - an opportunity to engage in crucial debate on health and care in #Scotland .
#ALLIANCEConf24 morning workshops have started! Our #tacklingstigma workshop began with our Programme Manager Georgina Charlton discussing how we can shift the narrative from personal responsibility to societal accountability.
And finally we are hearing from Jacqui Stevenson, Programme Manager The ALLIANCE - discussing what perpetuates stigma and how human rights can work to challenge this.
#ALLIANCEConf24
Great to hear from Lauren and Francesca Howard discussing #homelessness and #gambling stigma, the role of the media, and what we can do to shift harmful narratives and stereotypes.
