No matter what problem a community encounters the solution is often found in the heart of it.....father, husband, gamer and housing profession.

Recently met with the new Chief Executive of homeless charity Emmaus based here in Colchester. They do excellent work getting people into housing with long term investment in employment skills.

@CraigSk92 Was there a jury? If so then that just blows my mind that they seem so attached from the rest of us🤯

@LauraHeitzJacks @WestminsterWAG Was that Louise you were referring to - whose name is literally an anagram of USE OIL 😂

@EssexPR @RideLondon @Essex_CC I live in one of the villages where the only access road is closed, I’m not too bothered, but my neighbour who finishes a night shift at stansted is stuck at work and is on a another late tonight. Consequences not really thought through enough. Carers, delivery drivers, workers.

Chainsaw artist, Matt Darge treated locals to a carving masterclass at YMCA Romford yesterday.

Our stunning new addition was carved from a single piece of wood & will take pride of place in our outside space 🦊

A big thank you to @Haveringchange for supporting this event 🙏

Anyone who knows the film A Christmas Story @ACSMovie will appreciate this gift from my son. And yes, he hid it behind a desk.
