For 1 of our autistic co-directors a buffet was impossible a few years ago. This became a barrier to some educational opportunities sadly. With patience & steady progress we are now here 😊 proud moment indeed #Awayday @HubbubTheatre @ace_midlands #letscreate

Devastated that the best day in Derby @derbyfeste which is FREE FOR EVERYONE is cut. Thoughts are with all those artists who will struggle to pay their bills now. These times are impossible. Change is needed now!

We regret to announce that Derby Festé 2024 will not be taking place this year. This decision has been made with a heavy heart, in response to the current cost of living crisis and rising overhead costs.

This arrived today with a section by @SarahBrigham “A Theatre for us is a town hall, a community centre, a place to dance, a place to eat, a place to heal, a place to celebrate and so much more and the architecture of that space can help us imagine what can be possible…”

War, what is it good for? Fossil fuel companies.
BP & Shell made combined £75bn profit since invasion of Ukraine, as people die in homes they can't afford to heat.
Obscene.

Staggering response to my degrading train conditions tweets yesterday. So many feel effectively disenfranchised from rail travel.
I'm glad it raised some awareness & media pick-up. Its not really my campaigning area but if you care, with an election coming, if a prospective MP knocks on your door, ask 'em what they'll do about it.
