Solving problems of inclusion and equalityNote from Joe: this note was written in the middle of February, and I’ve just found it, ironically, on the date that the Nesta prize was announced. I’m presenting it unaltered here. Yesterday was a big day for eQuality Time. We were one of 10 finalists who pitched to Nesta’s team of judges for […]

So this is my lunch from a little while ago. Normally this is the sort of thing that wouldn’t even make my own blog, but in this case it’s important. I was contacted a little while ago about an eating disorder project – people in recovery, their friends, families and other people around the issue […]
