158 miles walked in October & November. Last month I lost my walking partner so I’ve been less motivated to get out. Plus the weather has been awful, + my watch has been playing up and recorded some 0 step days. Running total: 1,311 miles (including Paris & Geneva) so will push for #Walk1500Miles
I look forward to playing my part in the mission to halve #VAWG by 2034.

There can be no greater privilege and I feel the weight of responsibility that this appointment brings with it. Thank you to all the bereaved family members I have worked with over the years for keeping on pushing and to the UK Home Office for this opportunity to serve.

118 miles walked in September through cities, along the coast and in the countryside. Running total: 1,153 miles #Walk1000Miles #Walk2000Miles
It’s so important to me to cover economic abuse - so I was delighted to have the chance to raise it on the World Service. Insights from UK, USA, South Africa and more. Thanks to @nicolajanesharp.bsky.social and all my contributors, especially ‘Mary’ for sharing her experience so frankly.

In a cab on the way back home from the airport and the driver has Magic Xmas on the radio. I guess the countdown is on…

This Sunday (7th September) there will be a nationwide Emergency Alert test at 3pm.
For women experiencing #DomesticAbuse, a hidden phone can be a lifeline. The Emergency alert this week will trigger a loud siren noise, even if your phone is on silent.

Hugely grateful to a local printers for turning these flyers around in record time so that I could also take the opportunity to promote the @intlcoalitionea.bsky.social/NO MORE Global Summit on Economic Abuse which is taking place virtually on 18 November.

Good morning from #ECDV in sunny Barcelona! I’m excited to be spending the next few days here soaking up lots of learning and meeting people from around the world also working on all things #EconomicAbuse

So much so that I left SEA last year to co-found @intlcoalitionea.bsky.social In a full circle moment, here I am with Rebecca Glenn who I met in Sydney (and who is herself a Winston Churchill Trust Australia Fellow) toasting our joint venture in Dubai earlier this year.
Applications open today!
A @churchillfship.bsky.social can help you #ChangeTheWorld My work to transform responses to #EconomicAbuse was inspired by my 2016 travels to the US & Australia. The learning I gained provided the blueprint for setting up @seacharity.bsky.social which now inspires others!
Before the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, the term #EconomicAbuse was not named or defined in legislation.
Four years later, and six in ten women have heard of it.

Having become an official ‘minder’ for a 4.5 mile stretch of the Monarch’s Way earlier in the year, I was excited to see it featured in this month’s edition of Country Walking with a great write up of its history too 👑

I feel like I talk into a void in this space but am left wondering exactly how old @bsky.app thinks I am??
Realised during Covid what we’d been missing out on. Just back from glamping in Norfolk. The weather just keeps getting better and there’s nothing like long walks with your dog and then a glass of wine and a nice meal at a countryside pub!
Watched the first 5 minutes of #MasterChef on iPlayer. Lots of presenter airtime - no difference to the editing that I can see.
193 miles walked in June and July. Heat of Dubai, Sicily and at home means a lower tally than usual. Running total: 889 miles #Walk1000Miles #Walk2000Miles
Hottest day so far!
So delighted to find @lucygobag.bsky.social on here having just listened to her talking to @laurenlaverne.bsky.social on Desert Island Discs. Absolutely fascinating career. Makes me think of the Air India disaster - all disasters - in a whole new light #EthicOfCare

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately. Just ‘hopping’ back on to share this book recommendation. A lovely, gentle read.

113 miles walked in April and 166 miles walked in May through bank holidays and festivals. Running total: 696 miles #Walk1000Miles #Walk2000Miles
✅ Consideration of gendered issues in sentencing. Female offenders are often victims of crime, with many coerced into criminality by male partners.
Economic abuse - such as non-payment of the TV licence - or its impacts - such as shoplifting to survive - are relevant here.
The final report of the Independent Sentencing Review by David Gauke was published on Thursday. Pleased to see:
✅ It recognises that victim-survivors of #EconomicAbuse not only want criminal justice, but also economic justice (referencing research I undertook with Kathryn Royal & Keith Gibson)
My happy place.
Turns out that my 7 year journey as a charity founder was text book. So textbook in fact that I feature as a portrait in Jo Owen’s new handbook for social entrepreneurs which is published today by @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social I can’t recommend it more highly.
