If so, we would be so delighted! You can email us at [email protected]. Thank you for considering it 😊

@Will_Gompertz hello! I’m a trustee of water and sanitation charity @WATSAN_Uganda. We’re running an art competition on the theme of “water is life”, and I wondered if there was any chance you’d consider being a judge?! The resulting work will be turned into a charity calendar.

I’m a bit of a lurker on Twitter/X these days. Find me over on LinkedIn where I’m a bit more active! https://t.co/2XFxuw3tqg

@MissyFitLondon They survey the audience and make sure they are representative of the voting habits and demographics of the area where it’s being filmed. That’s why there are so many Tory voters in the audience and why she knows. It was fair to try and get another view, that’s her role.

@Steam I’m trying so hard to buy gift vouchers on your website but it seems impossible! I have created an account and got to this screen but I enter recipient’s name then get nothing! This is after trawling shops for physical vouchers without success. Frustrated, please help!! 😖

[Kate Parrinder @KateParrinder]

Here I am talking about my slightly love/hate relationship with volunteering! Mostly love and commitment to community…

[Oxfordshire CF @OxfordshireCF]

It was The Big Help Out - so why didn’t I help out?

President @KagutaMuseveni: you wanted a scientific opinion to establish if homosexuality is natural, before deciding whether to sign the Anti-Homosexuality Bill

Here it is. Scientists from South Africa, Kenya, the US & around the world have answered… https://t.co/dWNUloU3Ia

Congrats to @NCVO on this achievement! @UKCF_tweets would be great to hear your views on this positive news.

[Saskia Konynenburg @SaskiaAlice]

The build up to this positive news has been a long journey. At times frantic, at times angry, at times desperate… and today euphoric!

A huge well done to my colleagues @NCVO and the wider sector for being relentless.

We have been heard 💜 #SpringBudget

I'm running an online auction of promises this Thursday evening, in aid of @WATSAN_Uganda. All welcome!

Tea on the terrace in the Houses of Parliament anyone?! Or a signed 2004 England rugby shirt? Ride in a vintage car? https://t.co/RUJqGR8EFe

*Glitch in time*

The Worcester College clock has stopped;
It’s stuck right there at 12 o’clock.
And when I pass you’ll hear me say:
“The time is right but twice a day.”

[Kate Parrinder @KateParrinder]

I’m going to be on the radio in half an hour talking about WATSAN, the Ugandan charity I am a trustee for!

[WATSAN Uganda @WATSAN_Uganda]

If you want to hear more about our online auction of promises on Thursday 16th March, our trustee @KateParrinder will be talking about it in @BBCOxford radio with @Brucey1 at 9.40 this morning! Tune in here: https://t.co/ozgl5AamGV

[Kate Parrinder @KateParrinder]

I’m organising an auction of promises for @WATSAN_Uganda, hosted by @Brucey1! Who knows someone who could offer a really unique auction lot for sale?! Funds will support people in rural Uganda access clean water and dignified sanitation close to their homes. 💦🚽

[WATSAN Uganda @WATSAN_Uganda]

Our online auction of promises will be the chance to ‘buy’ something unique in exchange for a donation to WATSAN. We’re now looking for some inspiring prizes that will get people bidding! https://t.co/9t0nbRMCXF

I do feel a duty to mention that as far as I know there isn’t any scientific evidence that Blue Monday is a thing. Lots of us can identify with feeling a bit down in January, but depression can affect people at any time. @OxfordshireMind have good advice: https://t.co/mqZJk8ybKL

[Kate Parrinder @KateParrinder]

Thank you ⁦@fleurostojak⁩ for having me on your show on ⁦@BBCOxford⁩ last night to talk about how doing good could help combat the January blues - and what we’re doing to spread kindness at ⁦⁦@OxfordshireCF⁩! From 1:10:51 #philanthropy https://t.co/D47p1TaqES

My friend’s son 💔

[Lee @LeeJones_52]

On Thursday we lost Ben, very suddenly at the age of 22. He was a huge @Arsenal fan and he would often remind me (I support Spurs)😂

I would love it, and I know he would, if we could get a minutes applause for him at the Emirates on Monday in the 22nd minute.

Please retweet 🙏

[Kate Parrinder @KateParrinder]

Do I know any engineers?! @10thNOGuides are planning an engineering night with hopefully a speaker or two, and some practical activities.

What does an engineer do? What does a career in engineering look like?

Please PM me if you or someone you know might enjoy coming to talk!

[Kate Parrinder @KateParrinder]

Thx so much to @DPrever at @BBCOxford for having me in this morning to talk about @OxfordshireCF’s support during the #costofliving crisis, in partnership with @OxfordshireCC. If you can, please make a donation to our Cost of Living Fund: https://t.co/EzCURr1m2D #DonatetheRebate
