'Pearls are symbols of resilience, formed in adversity as the oyster coats the grit that threatens to damage it in shimmering nacre.' @Frangipancesca reviews The Pearls and the Oyster, a group show of work by northern women painters at @the_birley 🦪🦪🦪 corridor8.co.uk/article/the-pe…

@Teamgrassroots_ Numerous times 'that boy' has been aimed at my daughter at a football match. As a society we have such a narrow view of what being a 'girl' can be. My daughter loves football through and through, as do many other girls. Wear your hair how you want girls 💛

"Girls can have short hair too" We have had lots of issues with some of our girls being called boys for having short hair, it’s lead to being bullied on and off the pitch. We are a girls football team and for the past few seasons we have been challenged by coaches, parents and players stating that we have boys on the team. This sadly has had a negative impact on our girls as it moves away from the pleasure of the game. We have had multiple incidents of this 😢 We are in a girls league, it’s caused so much distress and taken away from times where we should be celebrating! Often this happens when we score!! An important message from York RI Girls U12s to raise awareness. #grassrootsfootball #TeamGrassroots #GRF

Imagination matters and is worth teaching. Thank you @royalacademy

Couldn't be more proud of you Most Improved Player for the U10's Vernons Juniors 🤩 🏏

@_WendyCaitlin Your coat is lovely! Can't believe it's a charity shop find 🤩

Thank you to the Y2 pupils at @AshtonPrimary, who raised over £600 through a sponsored run & walk. We loved coming in to meet you all - thanks for choosing to support Baby Beat! The funds will help to make a real difference for the babies cared for here at @LancsHospitals 🧡🏥

@_WendyCaitlin Monsters is a brilliant book which I also got from my local library and Zadie Smith wrote a short essay on libraries - North West London Blues which is definitely worth a read. 😊

@milliehigham1 @PrestonVocation I love the smiles and the reactions of the students! Well done to all and to @milliehigham1 for a great video 🤩

A brilliant day @festofmaking in Blackburn! I think the flag making was the winner with these two. A great design for a @Everton flag 😄

Super proud of this one today 🤩 Ran 5k in the Preston @raceforlife Pretty Muddy! I finished far far behind him but it's the taking part that that matters here. Every penny raised towards a fantastic cause 💖 @CR_UK

#EndOfSeasonShoutout to Springfields U8 Girls - winners at Chorley Football Festival Both coaches could not be prouder of all the girls on their first season as a team 💪🏻 The girls work so hard together as a team, follow instructions the best they can and have made the greatest memories!
