In almost comedic timing, I was interviewed for @ArtsPro about this challenge (& this type of feedback) last week. It was published today. If you're a funder, local authority or commissioner, PLEASE read & see how impossible it is for small orgs right now: artsprofessional.co.uk/news/…

ACE rejection today. Feedback was positive, with v few recommendations for changes - mainly just 'we liked it but funds are limited'
The project meets Let's Create aims & has 60% match funding & 52 confirmed partners.
I've never known it this hard. About ready to give up, tbh.

@marlcliffesch primary made me very proud to be Active Travel Commissioner - our region's schools absolutely demonstrate the ethos and importance of embedding healthy habits early on, habits to stick to throughout life 👉tinyurl.com/599pa6u3

We have devastating news 💔
A water pipe burst above our Hillsborough shop front, that we worked so hard to get & transform, & 75% of our stuff is destroyed.
We have insurance but it doesn't cover all the costs. If you can help/share we'd be so grateful

Started yesterday watching an Olympian and a giant orange foot help children celebrate walking to school.
Ended it with a tour of the incredible rewilding efforts on display at @UniOfYork.
There's so much climate action taking place all around us every day @StoryExchange_

Lovely setting for a York & North Yorkshire mayoral hustings last night, held by @WhitbyCommunity. Fascinating to hear four of the candidates' solutions for public transport in the region and a strong focus on low-carbon homes, among many other topics @StoryExchange_

We hope this can be the catalyst for more murals around the ground. Please do get in touch with the trust if we can help.
