Introduction

Back with a quick update this week. Also just letting people know I’m on BlueSky as well as Twitter vic15/vic15.bsky.social but can’t promise to be very active - still open to feedback/comments/suggestions Reminder that we are in Islamophobia Awareness Month and there’s an event which I’ve added from the NHS Muslim Network which looks helpful.

Have a good week
