Why am I not surprised! Just caught the news this morning: young people with mental health issues facing a 350-day wait to be seen. This needs urgent attention – no one should wait that long for help. How can we expect young people to cope with such delays? 😞

@Leap_BMK Yes team!! 👏🙌

🏓 I'm loving Pickleball at the Invictus Games! Big thanks to @Leap_BMK for supporting the sport and leading it in the community for young people partnered with @mkcouncil #MiltonKeynes #InvictusGames #Pickleball

The Opening School Facilities (OSF) Fund from DFE helps schools open sports facilities to school & community users to improve physical activity levels in communities where needed most. Here's a summary of the feedback from Bucks & MK: bit.ly/3L8bT44 @activepartners_

I attended @Leap_BMK forum yesterday, I’m always learning great networking/collaboration event. Next one is 16th October. facebook.com/share/p/NXfAm8…

Another free event discovering Milton Keynes. facebook.com/share/66FTLChw…

Is it true people often resist moving because of comfort zones and it’s all about feeling safe rather than discovering new adventures? I’ve forces myself to try something new and I’m so uncomfortable, I know the feeling will pass, I’m excited about learning from it.
