“Just Good Friends is a great organisation run by a great person Bev, I am proud to be their Patron. As the new White Paper on health talks about ‘joined up’ integrated approaches to health which are deeply rooted in communities and local people’s lives, the health service and public sector would do well to learn from this people focused entrepreneurial approach and get behind it. If fine words are to be translated into practical action on the ground in this post COVID world then Bev and her team are the people to back. I was impressed by their tenacity and care. They are a consistent fact in an endlessly restructuring public sector world – people should get behind them as we have done and grow their capability”
