@HendinArts 'We always do our pyt runs on Weds so although that suggests we shld be organised & professional enough to include those which wld be overdue if left for another week, instead we prefer to dress up our pitiful & unfair money-grubbing as reasonable business practice..

[Pontefract Heritage Group @GroupPontefract]

Pontefract is the home of the first secret ballot for a parliamentary election in 1872 - a step to protect the will of the people from the violence of a few. Today's terrible attack on that democracy is an attack on us all.

[Wakefield Museums & Castles @WFMuseums]

We are absolutely thrilled to have been shortlisted for @MuseumsAssoc Museums Change Lives best project award for #AWorldOfGood, which aims to inspire positive action on the climate crisis

[Pontefract Heritage Group @GroupPontefract]

We've rarely seen an exhibition with so much information, inspiration, creativity and interest packed in to a modest space. Well worth a visit, and well done to the team at @WFMuseums

[Vicky Shearman @DrVicky_S]

Hugely proud of the team. This is just wonderful.

Climate change can be overwhelming, we get that.

Our friends at @WFMuseums have been inspired by Charles Waterton to #DoAWorldOfGood and have some ideas of where to start.
