@slgavin @British_Airways @British_Airways I’m sitting on a plane at City Airport and we can’t take off because “the whole BA system is down” not sure if this is true but there is a man on the tarmac waving pieces of paper (remember those) which often means trouble.

Hi I went with my wife to your Wembley concert fab! You said. “I was just a little girl with a guitar” I have engaged 1 million children in UK through @BeattheStreet1 I want to get another million children to perform on stage in next 5 years. Could you help?

[Dr William Bird MBE @drwilliambird]

Pleased to read about positive intent from the Government on walking and cycling.

This funding must include commitment towards behaviour change, alongside infrastructure improvement. Looking forward to engaging with @transportgovuk.

The macroeconomic evidence case for preventative health measures builds, with this latest report from @InstituteGC 👇

The report estimates a 20% reduction in the incidence of 6 major disease categories keeping people out of work.

[Intelligent Health @Intelligent_Hlt]

It’s great to be amongst cross-sector colleagues at @theTCPA conference today.

Our CEO & Founder @drwilliambird is currently presenting on the scientific evidence behind why creating places & spaces where children can ‘develop well’ is important. 🤸🏽‍♂️

…Starting with resilience!

[Intelligent Health @Intelligent_Hlt]

Wonderful to see the Sheffield roaming map, based off of work led by @drwilliambird being used in @timrgill’s section of the panel!

[Playing Out @playingout]

The @CommonsLUHC inquiry that we and others put so much work and hope into has been halted. We're hugely disappointed but there's no going back. Evidence from 130 orgs now online and we plan to build on momentum to change things for children. https://t.co/61cydMsEei

Excellent that Labour's manifesto recognises "the climate and nature crisis is the greatest long-term global challenge that we face".

It acknowledges the need for habitat creation & restoration in response. Serious investment & regulation would be needed to deliver.

[Dr William Bird MBE @drwilliambird]

Prevention, community-led health & tackling inequalities through social determinants are very much forefront of the @UKLabour manifesto.

If elected, Labour must ensure it works with key community trusted voices already working in these places to achieve real, considered change.

[Dr William Bird MBE @drwilliambird]

https://t.co/v3IH6UEpo8 - our cross-departmental manifesto asks in full, all to make our country a more beautiful, healthier & proactive place to live.

[Dr William Bird MBE @drwilliambird]

Slightly late to the announcement from @SteveReedMP, but great intention from @UKLabour with the Countryside Protection Plan, containing much of what we've been calling for at a policymaking level. Including in our #RoutesToRoots low/no cost manifesto.

[Wildlife and Countryside Link @WCL_News]

Our CEO @RSBenwell is demanding that whoever the next Government is, they must #RestoreNatureNow
