Honoured and excited to become Chair of @GCP_Edinburgh and work with an amazing team delivering life-changing social enterprises and grassroots projects in the heart of Edinburgh. The needs of our community are increasing and we’re energised to grow and deepen our work.

Privilege to be in Denmark with @patientsikker & share perspectives on UK health system inc experience @BBB_Health - always encouraged to be with health & community activists working at the grassroots to address social factors that make folk more miserable than they need to be.

Excited to become a Trustee of ⁦@GCP_Edinburgh⁩ - a fantastic charity delivering life-changing services to a community of >500 members. Can’t wait to roll up my sleeves, learn a tonne of stuff from the brilliant team & start sharing their stories. grassmarket.org

Huge thanks to everyone who supported Allison & Mike’s epic cycle round Loch Ness, esp the generous folk who helped us raise £1500 for Bikes for Refugees - where a little money transforms lives. It’s not too late to make a donation to this amazing charity: justgiving.com/page/allison-t…

My amazing wife Allison and son-in-law Mike are cycling 66 miles round Loch Ness on Sunday to raise funds for the brilliant Bikes for Refugees charity. Any support will help them over the 1200ft ascent of the King of the Mountain section! Donate via link: justgiving.com/page/allison-t…

@GregorWell Huge congratulations Gregor. It’s a bit special.

I don’t usually post personal stuff. However, just back from 4 wonderful days in London meeting our new and first grandchild. Nora Mae born 4/4/24. Family all doing well. A whole new wave of emotions. Feeling very blessed. ❤️

Daphne’s story exemplifies the simple but profoundly important work of @thereaderorg - in a few minutes you can read her story and see what an amazing impact this work has on the lives of so many people. So proud to be a Patron of this amazing charity. thereader.org.uk/i-thought-that…

Privilege to celebrate the phenomenal achievements of my friend Paul Brickell on his retirement from @LondonLegacy yesterday - the driving force for so much that’s happened since 2012 inc @UCLEast - an East Londoner with incredible vision, determination & sense of community.
