This #VolunteersWeek we say a huge ‘Thank you!’ to all our fantastic volunteers who have made our charity what it is. Nearly all have #LongCovid themselves or are care givers to someone with Long Covid. Thank you for giving your precious energy to helping so many others. 💖💖💖
I had the pleasure of working with a new client, in the south of France, this week delivering on behalf of @TedLearning1 We used drama-based learning to explore the realities of leadership in a dynamic, engaging, and – at times – confronting way. #LeadershipDevelopment

Delighted to have attended my first meeting of the #APPG on Long Covid last week in my new role as Chair of Trustees at @long_covid It was a pleasure to meet @JoPlattLeigh and take part in a discussion on how we can accelerate research into Long Covid. #LongCovid


Incredible effort from Joey & Rob — 114 miles on a tandem bike to 13 Shropshire cricket clubs, all to support those living with #LongCovid Please support @long_covid if you can! #LongCovidAwareness #Fundraiser #TandemChallenge #CommunitySupport
💖1/3. We’ll be so excited to see Rob & Joey take off on their 114-mile tandem cycle to 13 Shropshire cricket clubs! They are supporting friend & fellow cricketer Charlie who has #LongCovid, & we're thrilled they've chosen our cause🙏 Find out more below!⬇️ #Fundraising
1/2. The next APPG on #LongCovid meeting is taking place on 15th July 2025 at 4:15pm. Contact your MP now and ask them to attend! More info. on the APPG can be found on their webpage - link below ⬇️
Looking for a UK case study: someone with Long Covid and/or ME who receives PIP and works, and who would have to stop or reduce work if they lost PIP. Need to have spoons to speak on Zoom - possibly with an MP, to help prep for a debate (details tbc). Please DM.
🚨1/5. Cutting PIP will: ⚠️ Push people further away from work ⚠️ Increase poverty ⚠️ Drive decline in health & independence See what people said below ⬇️ 📧 Contact your MP today & ask them to oppose the proposed welfare changes!! #LongCovid #TakingThePIP
1/3 ❌PIP cuts will be devastating for people with #LongCovid and #ME Our new briefing shows these reforms will push people further from work, deepen poverty & worsen health. We’re calling on MPs to oppose the cuts-help us flood their inboxes. Link to briefing & how to act⬇️
Fabulous lunch and day representing @LordsTaverners at Woollam Playing Field yesterday. Great to catch up with @hertslieutenant and fellow @chorleywoodcc Vice President Clive Radley. Our opening pair (Kevin and I) enjoy 140 years of experience!

Delighted to see Gordon Roddick awarded a knighthood. I had the privilege of working at The Body Shop and saw first-hand the power of purpose-led business. Gordon’s vision, integrity and commitment to charity made a lasting impact. A truly well-deserved honour. #GordonRoddick
Current PIP criteria already fail people with energy-limiting conditions. Proposed changes will deepen this injustice, with devastating consequences. @JoPlattLeigh backs our call for a system that supports people with #LongCovid in @BigIssue Link in next tweet.
🗞️ Former Formula 1 world champion Keke Rosberg on having #LongCovid: "I used to have a list of things that still need to be done. I still have one now, but it's a list of things that can't be done anymore." Link below ⬇️ #KekeRosberg
A snapshot of a brilliant day with the Reiss management team. I had the pleasure of facilitating their retail conference alongside the amazing team at @TedLearning1, the energy, honesty and curiosity in the room made it one to remember. instagram.com/reel/DKfFuSQPA…

Honoured to have attended the @AJEX_uk Service of Commemoration & Thanksgiving at the historic @BevisMarksUK as part of the #VE80 commemorations. A moving and humbling tribute to the Jewish men and women who served—and those who gave their lives—in defence of our freedoms.



Thank you @SouthamptonFC for the amazing pre-match hospitality. Looking forward to a great game in the South Coast sunshine. @ManCity #MCFC #ManCity



Gearing up to enjoy a chat and banter with Paul Ross later on @talkSPORT with fellow guest @_DazzlingDave from @_AlwaysWolves. We will discuss @ManCity v @Wolves on Friday night and I will try to mention John Stones’ last minute winner back in October!! #MCFC #ManCity #MCIWOL
Following two frustrating postponements, over the past couple of weeks, my 55th consecutive competitive season started today.

Today would have been Franny Lee’s 81st Birthday. A @ManCity legend.
