In the Lived Experience side of the forums, we are celebrating @Maggie for her wonderful sharing of articles around topics that might interest the community and prompting discussion around that such as here

For our Carers forum, we are celebrating @patientpatient who is always open to supporting others by sharing some stories from their own experiences of caring, such as here. This is wonderful and really valued

PS- if you ever feel like sharing something you would like to celebrate for yourself or shouting out a celebration to another member, check out the Thumbs up Thursday- Woohoo thread!
