Happy New Year!
As we gear up for tonight’s celebrations, we’re reflecting on an incredible year of campaigning.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us along the way; your support made all the difference.
Here’s to 2026! 🥳

The first thing I encountered this morning when leaving my home was a bin in the middle of the pavement, nowhere near where it should have been. For a sighted person these obstacles can be irritating, for people with sight loss they can also be dangerous as this report finds.
92 per cent of blind and partially sighted people have had to walk into the road to avoid obstacles.
Our #InMyWay report, launched today, highlights the often literal barriers to blind and partially sighted people making independent journeys. Read more: https://t.co/oYwxzPF31F
@_SophiePaul_ Just arrived back home but totally worth it they were amazing. A few gems in the setlist too and the perfect timing for the rain to fall during September Ends
All aboard?
RNIB's new report on bus travel shows that fewer than half of blind and partially sighted people can make the journeys by bus they want or need to.

Bands don’t succeed. Just statistically. So after the surprise indie success of our album Take This To Your Grave, I was sure there was no way but down from there. I was certain we couldn’t possibly match the success we’d had with that album. So I barely bothered considering it as a possibility, I just went in to write and record an album I enjoyed. I told my parents “I swear, just one more semester off and then I’ll go to college.” When “Sugar, We’re Goin Down,” premiered on MTV’s TRL I could tell that I probably wasn’t going to make it to college after all.
Happy 20th anniversary to From Under The Cork Tree, the album that changed everything. You turned it into something so much bigger than us, and for that we’re forever grateful.
We’re working on some cool things to keep the celebration going later this year, but more on that later. Here’s to the next chapter 🌳🖤.

Reminder there are no local elections in the Bradford District this Thursday 1 May.
As part of the elections cycle, once every four years there are no local elections held. This is called a fallow year, and occurs this year in the Bradford cycle.
Such a great watch, I was captivated by every line, every story. Shows the real power that sportspeople can have in creating cultural and societal change with their influence and platform. These lessons can apply to any aspect of life: https://t.co/H4z54HLBl8 via @bbciplayer

200 years ago, Louis Braille invented the 6-dot tactile written code that would become known as braille.
Here’s what my first name would look like in braille. Happy #Braille200!
