For the past year I’ve been finding and telling everyday stories of extraordinary change across Yorkshire & Humber for @StoryExchange_.

We’ve launched social channels so you can keep up with our work – follow them to see stories that show “this is what the transition looks like”

In almost comedic timing, I was interviewed for @ArtsPro about this challenge (& this type of feedback) last week. It was published today. If you're a funder, local authority or commissioner, PLEASE read & see how impossible it is for small orgs right now: https://t.co/DToSJRAJMP

Lovely to hear about the amazing work behind my favourite bit of urban planning for @StoryExchange_

We have devastating news 💔

A water pipe burst above our Hillsborough shop front, that we worked so hard to get & transform, & 75% of our stuff is destroyed.

We have insurance but it doesn't cover all the costs. If you can help/share we'd be so grateful
