Just a little mini-thread with a few thoughts about People Powered.

In the seventeen days since the letter was first shared online, I've been wowed each day with how quickly we've grown.

I'm honoured to stand among the quietly extraordinary people that have assembled themselves to make a difference, and each time we do something to take pressure off the NHS in some way I feel pretty humbled.

I remain humbled by the work of the NHS staff and other frontline workers. I personally become aware of the more and more frontline workers each day. I send them love, and I hope that we can perform love in action, one task at a time, to do what we can to help.

I've learnt a whole bunch of things, these 17 days.

One of those things is about letting people tell the stories of what we are doing, so that we can do more to help as the word gets around.

The landscape of that is *so* different to the ones we we found ourselves in during Crew for Calais, and Love Letters, and I'm really glad that I was gently guided by Jono and the whole team to make the right decisions around that.

(For the record, everyone else was already making the right decisions. I was just slow to catch on.)

I'll head off now. I'm going to go and get on with People Powered work (to is working on implementing the England, Wales and NI deployment teams) and also with real life work, and real life home admin. KaylaDog's food needs ordering, y'know?

I'm also going to acknowledge that in the midst of everything that's been happening with People Powered, I've been directing a show (via video call, of course) with Daniel Bye and Boff Whalley... and that this experience continues to be a joy.

It's a show about freedom, long distance running and mass trespass. It will happen in rooms, with groups of people, when we come out the other side of this.

It's the reason I went for the first run ever in my life earlier this morning. It is a good thing.
