I've come along way with phnxfitness over the last 5 months and feel so much fitter and healthier. Playing with the new fitness tracker, I burned 950 calories in today's session and there is just no way I could have… https://t.co/dfGV6rhXsR

Boob jobs, naked calendars and sex lives... I'm learning lots about the benefits of growing older today! #ageproudbristol @BabBristol

"You can do anything in old age. If you weren't allowed to sing in the choir at school, then you can do it now" really inspiring to hear Judith Brown talking at the launch of #AgeProudBristol @BabBristol

[Adam Rees @aerees]

It was interesting to hear Julie Close speaking today about the journey of @southernbrooks over the last 3 decades and how their theory of change helps them keep going while delivering their social purpose #askingtoearning

@PaulsPlace__ @St_Monica_Trust @danielcheesman1 Thanks for speaking @danielcheesman1 !

[Adam Rees @aerees]

Steve Sayers talking about the different funding streams @windcityfarm including the playgroup and their fantastic cafe. The challenge is always developing income to sustain the social purpose of the organisation while trying not to add to increasing inequality.#accesstoearning

[Adam Rees @aerees]

I always enjoy hearing from AnnDeloris from @BlackCarers but today she came with holiday pics and some fantastic stories about the joint work they are doing with @BlackSWNet @powertochange #askingtoearning

[Adam Rees @aerees]

Totalling inspired by Joanna Holmes @BHillSettlement talking about how and why they are coming together with @wellspringhlc, not just for financial sustainability but also for better services for the local communities. #askingtoearning

[Adam Rees @aerees]

Great to hear Sandra from @voscur and Helen from @CVSSouthGlos talking about their approaches to supporting VCSE organisations in becoming more sustainable. There will always be a need for grants but many groups are thinking about more consistent funding sources #askingtoearning

[Adam Rees @aerees]

Proud to bring together VCSE organisations in the West of England to explore financial sustainability today. @St_Monica_Trust is committed to providing grant funding for older people services but many organisations are now looking for other funding sources #askingtoearning

[Adam Rees @aerees]

I've had such bad customer service with @curryspcworld @TeamKnowhowUK over the last week buying fridge, freezer washing machine and tumble dryer that I've happily paid more for the range cooker I wanted from another company just so I don't have to go through that again.
