@EdGrattan08 @wietse @searangersorg @PioneersPost Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

[Carla Parks @parkscarla]

Let’s together come up with solutions to save the blue planet. One visionary is @wietse who founded social enterprise @searangersorg. I had the immense privilege to speak to him for this story produced for @PioneersPost. And it has lots of pictures! https://t.co/BfhcUViCkL

A spider that I left to a corner of my ceiling had babies, and I suddenly felt like Wilbur in Charlotte’s Web. What a miracle nature is.

Such a pleasure to interview @abhathorat about some of the innovative finance projects at @britishasiantst. Fantastic achievements in partnership with others (featured in @PioneersPost).

RT and like this tweet if you support our campaign to save the YMCA Crouch End Fitness Centre from closure

Also read this article @petepaphides wrote for the Times about the fitness centre, what it means to him and the loss to the whole community if the YMCA does close us down

[Carla Parks @parkscarla]

This in my YMCA gym! It’s a shame to lose these valuable community spaces. #saveourfitnesscentre

[Caitlin Moran @caitlinmoran]

Lovely piece by @petepaphides on how his local YMCA gym saved his life, and how, if it closes down - as currently proposed - we lose something commercial gyms just don't offer: https://t.co/3xTmpNcbsJ

[Carla Parks @parkscarla]

@jessiehewitson Hope you enjoyed it! Sending love. X

[Carla Parks @parkscarla]

@SaveOurGym This gym is so vital to the community, inclusive, and very affordable. We shouldn’t just accept that they need to close because the numbers don’t stack up. And Tracey is great! 🙌

[Carla Parks @parkscarla]

I’m a member of this gym and can’t imagine losing such a welcoming gym in #crouchend that has been part of the community for decades. #saveourfitnesscentre

[Andrew Boardman @AndrewBoardman]

Great turn out from the YMCA gym members yesterday. Please sign our petition to save this vital local asset @saveourgym #saveourfitnesscentre https://t.co/XH7Zg0AwL7

@thenostalgic I hope the technology will one day be so commonplace that anyone could have it. 🤞

[Carla Parks @parkscarla]

The news that the NHS might one day fund an insulin pump for people with type 1 diabetes is a huge step. My 16-year-old daughter struggles every day to monitor her glucose levels, a constant worry and stress. 1/

[Carla Parks @parkscarla]

@zsk I’m so glad he’s feeling better.

[Carla Parks @parkscarla]

This technology can improve her quality of life and reduce long-term complications from managing type 1 diabetes. Let’s hope they can bring down the cost because everyone with this condition deserves better. #type1diabetes

Just yesterday I found her up at 1.30am drinking juice because the alarm on her monitor had gone off, warning her that her blood sugar might be going too low. This happens regularly and she’s not alone.
