@smartcardriver No. Where is that then?

@smartcardriver Happy birthday to my favourite author! I approve of the 🍩 shaped celebrations.

@KeithWinestein The @CoinStreet word reaches far for sure!

@DavidLHopkins Thank you David. It was an amazing experience and a real privilege. I met someone who was aware of Nishi’s art work and the 40th anniversary tapestry!

Yesterday it was my great honour and with humility I was the key note speaker at the historic Livery Hall, Guildhall for the Bridge Watch charity. It was a moving event and I was privileged to follow several incredibl volunteers each with their own story to tell of saving lives

The sun came out to honour Roy Ayers today. Just bees and things and flowers.

🎬 Presenting Imagine, our new film celebrating 40 years of community at Coin Street, featuring the voices of 32 locals sharing stories of unity, diversity, and impact. 🌟 Get involved here: coinstreet.org/about-us/get-i… #Imagine #CoinStreet #Community #Inclusion #SouthBank

Housing? Nope. Ugly? Yep. Heritage? Wrecked. Carbon? Tonnes. Daylight? Blotted out. The river’s string of pearls - St Paul’s, Somerset House, National Theatre, majestic views from Waterloo Bridge - to be joined by lopsided, behemoth towers of…more offices telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

This Friday!

Today, the Save Our South Bank group is taking their campaign to the High Court in the hope that a Judicial Review will overturn the decision to grant planning permission for a monstrous development on London’s South Bank. Support the campaign here: crowdjustice.com/case/save-our-…

@LauraHAllain @CoinStreet @hm_hashi @FloEshalomi Laura so lovely to see you last night. Thanks for all the support you have given us over the years at Coin St & for being part of our story.

@CllrIIssa @BlackPrinceHub Really great to hear this news Issa. The Trust does brilliant work for and with the community.

An absolute honour to be appointed Chair of Black Prince Trust - an organisation I have been involved with for many years. The work of community organisations like BPT is more vital than ever & I can't wait to get started alongside talented colleagues! blackprincetrust.org.uk/bpt-appoints-l…

It has been such a privilege to be involved with @WhatWorksWB At yesterday’s drinks reception to mark our closure, @Work_Life_You reminded us across the ten years the Centre had published a piece of work on wellbeing every single week. Remarkable legacy to draw on!

The creation of Sure Start must rank as one of the most inspiring and effective policies ever - yet funding has been cut by two-thirds and hundreds of centres have closed. Closing the attainment gap and ending child poverty depends on rebuilding this programme and institution.

It's 40 years since the death of Bernie Spain, who gave her name to @coinstreet's park on the South Bank. Here's the obituary from the April 1984 edition of the SE1 community newspaper @se1stories archive.org/details/se1-co…

@ImmyKaur This is a good read on how Neal’s Yard came to be, and how there was space in the 70s and 80s for more radical ideas to capture prime spaces in the city. theguardian.com/food/2024/jan/…

I was today years old when I found out Neals Yard is a real place.

It’s been an eventful last 12 months for @WhatWorksWB and in that context I’m even more impressed and proud of what our teams have achieved in 23/24. Thank you whatworkswellbeing.org/resources/our-…
