PHTA Ltd Dr Mubasshir Ajaz of West Midlands Combined Authority is now leading a panel on #HealthInequalities and how Birmingham can address them. Covid brought this topic into far sharper focus - how can we harness this momentum for our highly diverse city with areas of known deprivation?

It was great to see 300 people gather to celebrate @CitizensUKBham's 10 year anniversary yesterday.

Angela Jeffery co-chaired the event with Mashkura Begum and reflected on 10 years of campaigning for the Living Wage, which we became the first university in Birmingham to commit to.
