We enjoyed a walk with @GWLhealthwalks yesterday at #getoutdoorswhitehill - but don't worry if you weren't there, you haven't missed out. The walk leaves every Sunday at 10.30am from the garden at the side of the Whitehill Neighbourhood Centre. (And it doesn't rain on Sundays!)

🚨We’re launching our #EveryoneAboard campaign!

🚌 Like other vital services, we believe bus travel should be available on the basis of need.

🎫 On the road to recovery, we can make sure everyone has a seat, by extending free bus travel to Universal Credit recipients & <25s.
