Pretty passive on most things… but FIVE individual accounts/posts reported for explicit hateful and racist comments in the last 48hrs… and yet NONE of them deemed enough for @X ‘safety policies’ to have been broken. Seriously, f**k this once brilliant platform - I’m done 👋

Interesting podcast by @ThirdSector on Demystifying Apprenticeships, hosted by Dami and Lucinda. Thanks to @wearecoachcore @GaryLaybourne for shouting out our apprenticeship work. Find out how you can access the Apprenticeship Levy to upskill existing staff and recruit people with valuable skills and experience looking to progress their career in youth work by visiting 👇nya.org.uk/apprenticeship…

205 miles on the road for two great causes. Amazing achievement @mitchskills @GaryLaybourne @IanBudge9 @StreetGames @coachcore #WembleytoEtihad #Legends

@AvantiWestCoast pleased the Sunday strikes off but can’t amend tickets online. I call the team to say I had to book a last train Sat 29th family ticket but originally wanted Sun 30th so we can stay longer after Dads funeral. Response? £440 instead of £180 you paid. Disgusting

@StreetGames @MarkLawrie_SG This is brilliant news to end the year. @MarkLawrie_SG - You’ll be squirming at the attention and recognition no doubt mate, but know it’s absolutely deserved my friend 👏

We want to celebrate the weekend by sharing the fact we've recently been recognised at the Multicultural Apprenticeship Awards, the Lifetime Learner Awards and have just made the shortlist for the UK Coaching Awards. To everyone in our CCF network, thank you! 🏆

@wearecoachcore hits another big milestone! £3.5 MILLION fundraised and granted to UK employers since 2012, unlocking £17.5m extra direct investment Read my blog on how we’re helping marginalised YP into work and how existing levy funds could boost SMEs! linkedin.com/posts/gary-lay…

@planetfutebol Used to love these quizzes but utterly pointless now the advertising covers the whole thing and you can’t even shift it even if you click on it!

There are fewer English managers in the Premier League with every passing season – but can you name the highest-finishing domestic boss from each top-flight campaign since 1992? planetfootball.com/quizzes/can-yo…

After 7 wonderful years, @stephhoughton2 is stepping down as one of our ambassadors. While Steph’s role as ambassador may be coming to an end, her continued belief in the importance of sport in shaping young lives is clear. We’re grateful for the time and energy she has given to our charity, and for the positive example she sets for young people everywhere. Her passion for the game and commitment to advocating for equal opportunities in sport has shone through in her support for Coach Core and in her broader contributions to the growth of women’s football. She has been a role model for girls and young women around the country, but also for our apprentices specifically. She has taken time to get to know our apprentices and share with them what she’s learned over the years about coaching and growing the next generation of players, whether they be recreational or elite. As she transitions into her next chapter, including work as a respected pundit, Steph remains dedicated to the causes she cares about. Thank you, Steph, for your support and for being part of the Coach Core story. We look forward to seeing what comes next in your incredible journey.

@Willsy07 Missed so much still. Big love bro 💚💚💚

Dave Rivers…It would have been his 44th birthday today. Miss you everyday mate x #gonetosoon #family

This isn’t about Coach Core… Its about giving a voice to all SME’s so we can better understand the recruitment/ apprenticeship landscape, and then make the findings available to better champion their cause to Gov Get involved👇♻️ @SFDCoalition @cimspa @_UKCoaching @Lifetime_UK
