Should not be having to put up with such poor customer service from Evans Halshaw Kilmarnock whilst I’m trying to deal with my health. @vauxhall @VauxhallCustSvc sort your garages out!

A new Prime Minister won't lower your rent.
Won't make houses affordable.
Won't stop your weekly food shop feeling like a robbery.
Won't make wages keep up with inflation.
But somehow we're expected to believe everything will be different this time.
my all time favourite thing to do right now is watch Scotland in Boston, Scotland in America and just general Tartan Army on TikTok right now 🫣 🏴 🤣 ✨

Something big is coming and it’s only 15 minutes long, but it could change everything.
Thanks to DigiBete and leaders in the field of #T1D, we’re about to launch a brand new GP Training Module on the early warning signs and symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes. It’s punchy, impactful and designed to slot into the busiest schedules without draining time or resources.
This promo video is just a teaser, but trust me, the full module will make you stop and think.
The goal? To get this approved across the NHS and into every corner of primary care. My personal mission? I won’t rest until this becomes mandatory training.
Because recognising Type 1 Diabetes early isn’t optional, it’s lifesaving.
The countdown has started. @parthaskar @DigiBeteUK @DSNforumUK

I’m honoured to announce that I’ve been invited to attend and speak to people about Lyla’s Law at the Diabetes UK Professional Conference 2026 in Liverpool this April.
This conference is attended by over 2,000 diabetes healthcare professionals and researchers from across the UK. To be invited as a non healthcare professional is unprecedented and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity.
I’ll be there to share Lyla’s story, raise awareness of the failures our children face around being diagnosed far too late, and continue pushing for the change that children across the UK desperately need at primary care level. Hopefully by being there can help move us all closer to a future where Type 1 diabetes is no longer initially dismissed as “just a bug”.
This invitation is a reflection of the impact you are all helping me to make, and I know Lyla will be right there with me.

🌟 BIG NEWS FOR LOCHLAN’S LEGACY 🌟
We are absolutely delighted to welcome a very special new addition to our team…
💙 NINA KANE-Project Worker💙
Joining us as our new Project Worker, Nina brings not only a wealth of professional experience but a deeply personal passion for our cause — and we couldn’t be more excited to have her as part of the Lochlan’s Legacy family.
🌿 A little about Nina…
Wife to Martin and mum to two incredible T1 warriors — Cam (17) and Ava (12) 💙
Proud step-parent to Dylan (22) and Rach (18), and kept busy by their daft (but adorable!) Labrador, Otis 🐾
Based near Stirling in the beautiful Hillfoots, Nina finds her reset in nature — hill walking, fresh air, and taking in the world around her 🌎
✨ Professionally…
Nina brings over a decade of experience in HR and employee relations, with a real passion for helping people grow, develop and thrive.
She is also an Ambassador and Parent Panellist for YoungMinds UK, advocating for children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing 💛
🎶 Outside of work…
You’ll find Nina at rock gigs, travelling, practising yoga, or out running…
She’s currently training for the Edinburgh Marathon 🏃♀️ — raising funds for Diabetes UK, a cause incredibly close to her heart.
💬 Nina says:
“Life is busy, loud, meaningful and full of purpose — just the way I like it. I’m very excited to be joining the Lochlan’s Legacy team (family), being personally passionate about the cause and professional in my approach, which I hope can make a positive impact in supporting the growth of Lochlan’s Legacy.” 💙
💙 From us…
This is a HUGE moment for Lochlan’s Legacy.
Our team is growing, our impact is expanding, and having someone like Nina join us — with both lived experience and professional expertise — is incredibly special.
We can’t wait for you all to meet her and see the amazing work we’ll do together 💫
Welcome to the family, Nina 💙
