Save Ely's Minor Injuries Unit

Save Ely's Minor Injuries Unit In support of our local Minor Injuries Unit, and local urgent care provision in Ely, Cambridgeshire

This page has been created to facilitate the flow of communication between those interested in doing all they can to save our local Minor Injuries Unit. We need to work together: to petition, to encourage others to do so, and to speak up for our MIU in meetings called by the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), and elsewhere. The link to the petition to Parliament is: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/163267

and, for the petition to the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough CCG: https://www.change.org/p/dr-gary-howsam-save-ely-s-minor-injuries-unit-leaked-report-states-it-could-be-closed

Paper copies are also held at Ely News' offices, Ely City Council, and at the Lighthouse Centre. The petitions will also be available to sign at Ely Market, on Saturday, 3 September.

Fell into conversation with a woman of Wimbledon who told me sheโ€™d taken a six year old to see Paddington the Musical at the Savoy.

Towards the end, the little bear has a speech recommending people learn to love each other, which he had found to be much better and rewarding than being horrible to each other.

When he finished, the six year old stood up in her row in the upper circle and shouted โ€œWell said, Paddington!โ€ and the whole theatre broke into applause.

Vive la Rรฉsistance!

A Childโ€™s Voice โ€“ After School, I Need You to Know
The Child Who Masks

Earlier today I shared the swan model.

The one that looks calm on the surface, gliding through the school day โ€” while underneath, itโ€™s paddling fast just to stay afloat.

This is that same child, speaking now.

When I come out of school, Iโ€™m not being โ€œdramaticโ€.
Iโ€™m not suddenly difficult.
Iโ€™m not undoing all the good behaviour you were told about.

Iโ€™ve been holding it together all day.

Iโ€™ve pushed feelings down so I didnโ€™t stand out.
Iโ€™ve copied others so I could fit in.
Iโ€™ve kept my stims small and hidden.
Iโ€™ve smiled when I didnโ€™t feel OK.
Iโ€™ve tried to remember every rule so no one got cross.
Iโ€™ve ignored what felt too loud, too bright, too much.

And by the time I reach you, thereโ€™s nothing left in the tank.

What looks like defiance, tears, shutdown, or anger after school is often exhaustion from masking.

If this feels familiar, youโ€™re not alone โ€” and neither is your child.

My Masking Toolkit supports parents and educators to understand masking, recognise the hidden load, and reduce the pressure children carry just to be accepted. Link in comments below โฌ‡๏ธ or via Linktree Shop in Bio.
