@AberconwyMS @BlindVeterans Would like to see more transparency in the decision making process. Other options to taper or semi-close Llandudno services should have been considered. Requested minutes and papers but charity not prepared to share.

@pgtips42 @BlindVeterans Sadly yes and have held meetings with the interim CE. An extraordinary way in which they’ve brought forward this imminent closure. Feel for staff and the veterans treated in this way.

@BlindVeterans hi there, please could you make a public statement regarding the closure of your fantastic facilities at llandudno? I understand it is to close because of cost pressures, which will impact a lot of veterans and their families. @AberconwyMS are you aware of this?

@AberconwyMS @BlindVeterans And to think 22 senior staff salaries amount to £1.6 million a year (taken from annual report). Veterans will be devastated.

@AberconwyMS @BlindVeterans Closure will mean local job losses and any veteran north of Birmingham unable to travel the long distances to Brighton. South-centric decision once again.

Hi @BlindVeterans any news on the potential closure of your facilities at #Llandudno? Thousands of veterans will be missing out on respite care if this happens.

@northwaleslive @NWPioneer I understand that @BlindVeterans are considering closing their fantastic residential facility in Llandudno because of cost pressures - this would be a travesty for many visually impaired veterans. Please can you help? #veterans

Hi @BlindVeterans there is talk of closing your residential centre in Llandudno due to cost pressures - please re-consider as it supports so many visually impaired veterans @CombatStress @VeteransHealth #Llandudno #veterans

@BDCFT_BLCharity @TheBradfordGC @BDCFT Any news on the winners?

Well everyone's tee’d off at Better Lives annual golf day @TheBradfordGC & the competition is definitely on for the top prize & the £10K hole-in-one! ⛳ @BDCFT

@tomriordan Congratulations on all you have done at Leeds. You make a big difference to so many lives. 2025 will be a big year in lots of ways so all the very best on your next role, whatever that holds.

Some personal news. After 14 very happy years, I’ve decided the time is right to move on from a job and city that I love. I’m here until the end of 2024. More to come on what next for me then. Until then, lots to do. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped and supported me.

@david3012 Congratulations on your (semi) retirement decision, David. You were on of the first people to introduce me to Twitter! I retired almost two years ago and have never looked back 😎. All the best for your next chapter.

Three days into the new life and we’ve up the new car. The plan is to tow the caravan soon. I’ve never towed. I’ve never driven a 4x4. I’ve never had an automatic before. This might take a while to adjust to!

@NickyGoldthorpe @GuildofStudents @YSJSU @LeedsBeckettSU @upsu Congratulations on your retirement Nicky. You are a credit to your profession and will have helped shape the lives of many students and colleagues across multiple SUs. Be proud of your achievements and enjoy the next chapter 🤩

I officially retired yesterday after 28 amazing years in the SU movement. It’s earlier than I planned #thankscancer but I’m looking forward to some me time. Thank you to @GuildofStudents @YSJSU @LeedsBeckettSU @upsu and AMSU (RIP) for keeping me gainfully employed #LoveSUs

@BTHFT @Isla_Skinner @Mel_Pickup @BTHFTVolunteers Great to see this. Keep leading from the front @NutritionClare to help volunteers add real value 👏🏻

Welcome to @Mel_Pickup's weekly news roundup. This week Mel highlights our fantastic team of #volunteers - from hospital radio to guides, our tea bars to ward helpers - who play a hugely important role in the life of our hospitals. 📽️ bit.ly/3RxpMwq @BTHFTVolunteers

@Isla_Skinner Yes, saw this lovely cloud inversion when in Brodick earlier in the week. Wish I’d been up in the mountains to see it from there!

@BDCFT_Volunteer @JowittCatherine @BDCFT @theresepatten13 @grainneeloi1 @BDCFT_WTS Fantastic news and so well deserved 🥳

Congratulations to our very own @JowittCatherine, Volunteer Lead of the Year 🏆👏👏👏 @BDCFT @theresepatten13 @grainneeloi1 @BDCFT_WTS

@NickyGoldthorpe Congratulations Nicky, a decision you won’t regret! You have made a big difference to lots of students and should be very proud of your public sector work. Enjoy the next chapter 😊

It’s official … I’m retiring! I’ve made the not so/difficult decision to retire. I’ve had 27 amazing years working in SU’s but the time is right for me to go. I’m finishing at UPSU after xmas & my fab job will be advertised next week.

@davidgibsonNHS @BDCFT_BLCharity Well done David 👏🏻

Great North Run 2023 for @BDCFT_BLCharity - completed it in sub-2 hrs in very hot & sunny conditions. Amazing to meet Sir Mo Farah before his final ever professional race! strava.app.link/ky7T1FCkZCb
