Digital Fundraiser for 20 years, currently at a children's hospice. Passionate about charity, digital, cats and Grease 2 - not necessarily in that order. Favourite podcasts (if you're interested): HDTGM and The Neighborhood Listen.https://bsky.app/profile/pbfhpunk.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/pbfhpunk.bsky.social/post/3lgm5cetj3k2dOverheard a guy ask his partner for tissues, she didn't have any. This was my time to shine (due to a drunken fall causing a broken nose when I was 18, I always have tissues on me). I whipped out my pack of Kleenex and offered him one, he was grateful. This must be what doctors on planes feel like.26 Jan 2025 00:12 +0000at://did:plc:sjozvbgr4mmr2bdxxnamfcet/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgm5cetj3k2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/pbfhpunk.bsky.social/post/3leuhvonrv222Yesterday was the one year anniversary of being on my new job (actually a year may be too long to be considered new). It's gone so quickly, and hasn't been smooth for various reasons that aren't anyone's fault, but I'm glad I left the safety of my previous role of 8 years and took a chance!03 Jan 2025 20:53 +0000at://did:plc:sjozvbgr4mmr2bdxxnamfcet/app.bsky.feed.post/3leuhvonrv222https://bsky.app/profile/pbfhpunk.bsky.social/post/3ld4culna722hI'm at my folks, going through my mum's clothes, and my dad has picked something up and said "these are mine or someone else's" everything will fit into one of those categories. So he could be looking at anything from a nail file to the Declaration of Independence.12 Dec 2024 12:53 +0000at://did:plc:sjozvbgr4mmr2bdxxnamfcet/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld4culna722hhttps://bsky.app/profile/pbfhpunk.bsky.social/post/3lcwxqmpoes2iOnly 2 hours to reach our £50k target. We're so close! If each of my followers donated just £5, we'd hit it and your support would help us to continue providing specialist palliative nursing care and respite stays for children with life-limiting conditions https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a056900002TPVAZAA510 Dec 2024 09:51 +0000at://did:plc:sjozvbgr4mmr2bdxxnamfcet/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcwxqmpoes2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/pbfhpunk.bsky.social/post/3lcuv3hjx4c22The Women's Aid ads I keep seeing on TikTok are really powerful.
