Great to see this exchange of knowledge taking place.

[Welsh Government Housing and Local Government @WG_HousingLG]

We are pleased to welcome Maori visitors to Wales🤝

Leaders from the Tokona Te Raki and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu tribal groups met with @hannahblythyn and @WelshGovernment officials to learn about the Well-being of Future Generations Act and share their own approach to futures.

Was a pleasure to be back @centre_alt_tech and this time with all my colleagues @Cwmpas_Coop @HackOfKindness @socialbizwales and share a platform with @CwmpasCEO to grow our response to #climatechange

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

Shocking disenfranchisement. We should all be watching this very carefully.

Local councils have started publishing data on how many voters were turned away last Thursday because they didn't have acceptable ID.

In Walsall, 1240 were turned away, 473 returned with ID, so 767 didn't vote.

In Bradford 1261 turned away , 763 returned, 498 didn't vote.

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

I vote yes. Having worked a 4 day week for several years I know it makes a massive difference to me, my family and wider community.

[Welsh Parliament @SeneddWales]

What do you think?

Should Wales adopt a four-day week?

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

Love this from @ASmallAMount What a rich diversity of opportunities!

[Amy Mount has left @ASmallAMount]

🗣️Climate job thread! Spoiler alert, it includes one of ours... 😉 but there's a great range of other orgs hiring right now as well 🔥

For those of us living rural in Wales, E-bikes are a great start
@SustransCymru. However, the ultimate need is safe cycle routes on trunk roads into towns from surrounding villages #activetravel @biosfferdyfi @summitcyclesUK @CyclingUK_Wales @JulieJamesMS https://t.co/CHi1R1OW7O

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

Fantastic news. Feels like we’ve been calling for this forever. Glad it’s finally happening.

[Welsh Government Rural Affairs @WGRural]

#DYK peatlands are the UK’s largest stores of carbon? But when peat is extracted, carbon dioxide is released, contributing to #ClimateChange

Today we announce the sale of peat compost is to end in Wales, a move overwhelmingly backed by the public. 👇

Did Suella Braverman do a deal with Rishi Sunak to kill off Liz Truss government in return for her old job back? We need a general election. Our new PM was elected by 100 people. Is this what taking back control looks like?

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

Looking forward to the #cwmrheidol fun run tomorrow! Beautiful valley, great fundraiser for Ysgol Penllwyn. Road fully closed. Kids race too.

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

Great to see this!

[SEASALT student housing coop @SEASALTHousing]

Belfast watch out! Another city, another student housing coop ✊

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

@LeenaSFarhat Sorry to hear that. Easy to feel this way. Hope it passes soon.

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

Very pleased to see the developments on EDI made @Cwmpas_Coop this year. This will be ongoing as a major focus of our work.

[Cwmpas @Cwmpas_Coop]

We are taking an action-focused approach to inclusion to bring about impactful change. This year we have commissioned an external organisation to carry out an equity audit and make recommendations (thread for #NationalInclusionWeek2022 #NIW2022).

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

Exactly what I wanted to hear from @Keir_Starmer today @UKLabour turning Britain into a green superpower. We need policy that steps up to the challenge of climate change and positions the UK as a global leader.

[Hannah Morris @hannahmo1981]

Fantastic attendance tonight at the launch of @cwmbachwetlands community share offer. Lots of interest and plenty of people buying shares! @Cwmpas_Coop @ClaudiaCSWales @TomCwmpas #community #ComShares

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

Today has been a kick in the teeth for anyone trying to make a more equitable world. It comes to something when even the markets think your attack on equality is bonkers.

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

This must be a common experience for so many businesses right now. Feels like we need another eat out to help out scheme but whilst we’re waiting and if you’re in their neighbourhood go support these guys in Cardiff or your local eatery.

[NOOK™ @nookcdf]

Please take the time to read, to share & do what you can 🤟🏻☀️🍳❤️

This little joint is struggling!

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

Great to see @CynonTafHousing taking the initiative on this!

[Allan Shepherd @allan_shepherd]

Good to see this happening!

[Derek Walker @derekwalker_]
