Really pleased to be leading this bid on behalf of Driffield

@peter_levy As a member of the RBL Councillor Network I’m furious by Trumps statement about our Armed Forces. Not sure that protocol will allow but I’d like to see the King as patron of the RBL, demand an apology and/or refuse to attend 250-year USA independence celebrations

@HumbersidePCC Thank you for helping to raise awareness. We need to press for a screening programme for men over 50.

Jonathan Evison is raising awareness about prostate cancer during the March awareness month. In 2023, Jonathan was diagnosed with prostate cancer and after being given the all clear, now wants to use his platform to encourage men to get checked. Visit ow.ly/Z8ex50V98ee

Yet another example of this Labour government not supporting hard-working farmers or their family business. Well done for putting together such a professional objection to this scheme - I’m really sorry (but not surprised) that you didn’t get the result you deserved.

@Sport_England A small grant from @Sport_England helped establish the Wold Rangers Way (@RangersWold ) in 2021. Our series of progressive circular walks now appeal to locals and attract visitors to the Yorkshire Wolds. Thank you!

"At Sport England we’re always talking about the benefits of being active, but for nerds like me, the past few months have provided a particular treasure trove of data about the social and economic value of sport and physical activity." Our strategic lead for research and analysis presents the latest reports demonstrating the positive socioeconomic impacts that sport and physical activity have on our country.⬇️ sportengland.org/blogs/whats-go…
