Thinking about all those children and parents and carers for whom this week is a nightmare, for those who struggle daily in school, for those have no school, for those who live hidden. We see you. #SEND #autism #ADHD #carers Thanks @_MissingTheMark Eliza Fricker for the drawing.

I live right by Heaton Park.
If you're an Oasis fan and don't want to fork out £100s for a place to kip, you can camp in my garden. For free.
The only condition is that you get a ticket for me too. I'll pay for it, and I'll even throw in brews, breakfast and a driveway.

I’m not a Tweeter. I’m a scroller. But I really want to share what I’ve done since winning #RaceAcrossTheWorld. It’s something I’m really proud of.

As a country we have enough resources to ensure our children are fed and don’t go hungry.
Children & young people shouldn’t feel shame that they don’t have £ for food.
Great to see some progress in relation to debt but we need to commit to ending #HiddenHunger
This #InternationalSchoolMealsDay @ScotGov must commit to ending #HiddenHunger for good.
We welcome @ScotGov commitment to writing off £1.8m of school meal debt for 30,000 children, but they must end school meal debt in Scotland forever.

The @GiveaGiggle project received a £10,000 #NationalLottery Awards for All grant to put a smile on children's faces in hospitals across England.
With a new maximum award of £20,000, see how you could use our funding to help your community achieve more: ow.ly/c16F50Q8gUQ

Big change to our smaller grants. @TNLComFund listened to what was important to communities and this is one of a number of improvements.
Small grants are the vital building blocks of communities.
#NationalLottery Awards for All is changing, with community projects now able to apply for up to £20,000 in funding.

It's only fair we leave the final word to the man himself... Roddy Forsyth 🙌
We'll miss your voice, your knowledge and your wisdom - you'll always be a @5liveSport football legend.
Thanks for the memories Roddy...
