Great to hear from the Education Sec that the govt continues to support & value the contribution of international students 🌏👩‍🎓 The message is: if you meet university & visa entry requirements, the British government and British people will welcome you #WeAreInternational

A brilliant brunch to celebrate @DayeBibs Step Together project at the weekend! Hearing such passionate testimonies about what walking and greenspaces mean to people’s wellbeing. We also shared an overview of the Active Quarter and asked people ‘what makes a good park?’

Really excellent talk, much appreciated by our members- see the slides and meeting notes here exchange.ca-wn.org/ca-wn-18-july-…

I think this is one of the most important projects ⁦@UniversitiesUK⁩ has undertaken in the time I have been involved in its work. Having critical friends involved in shaping it has been crucial. universitiesuk.ac.uk/latest/news/ne…

Love this: ⁦@bphillipsonMP⁩ speech “Be in no doubt: international students are welcome in the UK. This new government values their contribution – to our universities, to our communities, to our country.” gov.uk/government/spe…

LOVE a #Graduation celebration @GCULondon @CaledonianNews

Fabulous to see @Sport_England 's chair Chris Boardman and his team as they pass through Northampton on their eight-day bike ride from Manchester to Paris. The ride is part of Sport England’s work to encourage the sport and physical activity sector to step up its work in tackling climate change. Join us and countless other organisations and take the Green Pledge: P.S - Can you spot some familiar faces...? 🏉 @DelapreAbbey

Great to be here on day one of #ActiveCity2024. Today we're hearing from public health, planning and transport experts on how we can create people-friendly places that we can all enjoy 👩‍🦽🚶‍♂️🛴🚲🌳

Volunteers needed Northampton Bike Park are still looking for volunteers and committee members for their new British Cycling Go Ride Club. If you have a passion for cycling or are interested in getting involved, please contact info@northamptonbikepark.org

A lot of rather selective quoting of the MAC: in fact it found that after 12 months Grad Route visa holders’ earnings are broadly comparable to domestic graduates- median earnings in the first year are £21K - significantly higher than original estimates

What does the future of work look like? Our survey shows that more than 11 million EXTRA grads will be needed to fill jobs in the UK by 2035, in key areas like computing, teaching and health💻 See more👇 loom.ly/qnG8x_Q

Very interesting and important paper.

The key question from @CMonaghanSNP here:

"If the graduate route is closed, we lose out economically but, more importantly, our businesses lose skills and the ability to develop and expand." 🌍 Watch @CMonaghanSNP highlight the benefits of the Graduate Route following last week's Ministerial Statement on immigration 📺

The Graduate Visa plays a big role in the UK's competitiveness as a study destination Growth in the number of international students studying here has contributed £60 billion to the economy 📈 loom.ly/bTtjzS8

Did you know? International students contribute £240 million a year to the local economy of Middlesbrough and Darlington. 🎓🌎 Cutting off the Graduate Route undermines this contribution. Thank you for highlighting our report findings @JoJohnsonUK loom.ly/C9E2Ko4
