Pretty passive on most things… but FIVE individual accounts/posts reported for explicit hateful and racist comments in the last 48hrs… and yet NONE of them deemed enough for @X ‘safety policies’ to have been broken.

Seriously, f**k this once brilliant platform - I’m done 👋

@AvantiWestCoast pleased the Sunday strikes off but can’t amend tickets online.

I call the team to say I had to book a last train Sat 29th family ticket but originally wanted Sun 30th so we can stay longer after Dads funeral.

Response? £440 instead of £180 you paid. Disgusting

[Gary Laybourne @GaryLaybourne]

@StreetGames @MarkLawrie_SG This is brilliant news to end the year.
@MarkLawrie_SG - You’ll be squirming at the attention and recognition no doubt mate, but know it’s absolutely deserved my friend 👏

[Coach Core @wearecoachcore]

We want to celebrate the weekend by sharing the fact we've recently been recognised at the Multicultural Apprenticeship Awards, the Lifetime Learner Awards and have just made the shortlist for the UK Coaching Awards.

@planetfutebol Used to love these quizzes but utterly pointless now the advertising covers the whole thing and you can’t even shift it even if you click on it!

[Coach Core @wearecoachcore]

After 7 wonderful years, @stephhoughton2 is stepping down as one of our ambassadors.

While Steph’s role as ambassador may be coming to an end, her continued belief in the importance of sport in shaping young lives is clear. We’re grateful for the time and energy she has given to our charity, and for the positive example she sets for young people everywhere.

Her passion for the game and commitment to advocating for equal opportunities in sport has shone through in her support for Coach Core and in her broader contributions to the growth of women’s football.

She has been a role model for girls and young women around the country, but also for our apprentices specifically. She has taken time to get to know our apprentices and share with them what she’s learned over the years about coaching and growing the next generation of players, whether they be recreational or elite.

As she transitions into her next chapter, including work as a respected pundit, Steph remains dedicated to the causes she cares about.

Thank you, Steph, for your support and for being part of the Coach Core story. We look forward to seeing what comes next in your incredible journey.

@Willsy07 Missed so much still. Big love bro 💚💚💚

[Gary Laybourne @GaryLaybourne]

This isn’t about Coach Core…
Its about giving a voice to all SME’s so we can better understand the recruitment/ apprenticeship landscape, and then make the findings available to better champion their cause to Gov

We have an exciting project coming up! We're launching the Employer Research Project 📈

Aligned to our strategic ambitions to amplify the voice of our employers and apprentices, we are commissioning a project to further investigate these challenges. We hope that this will allow us to develop recommendations to improve our current provision, whilst also presenting these findings to Government and other stakeholders, with the aim of influencing apprenticeship policy.

We will be exploring the question: 'How does the current apprenticeship system support or hinder smaller employers' efforts to recruit and retain young apprentices, especially those with additional learning and support needs?'

If your organisation would be interested in supporting this work (for example, supporting dissemination of the findings or alignment to similar policy recommendations), please do get in touch with [email protected].

The full brief of this project is available upon request.

Guest speakers from diverse backgrounds opened up about their experiences & various opportunities in the sector.💪

[Coach Core @wearecoachcore]

What a brilliant day launching #Project1500 and celebrating 1000 apprentices that our Foundation has supported.

We heard from apprentices from the very beginning like Aklas, all the way through to Rochelle who is a current apprentice wth us. We were also joined by @chrissyohuruogu who gave a wonderfully motivating speech about progressing this legacy and getting more young people into employment.
