In almost comedic timing, I was interviewed for @ArtsPro about this challenge (& this type of feedback) last week. It was published today. If you're a funder, local authority or commissioner, PLEASE read & see how impossible it is for small orgs right now: artsprofessional.co.uk/news/…
Lovely to hear about the amazing work behind my favourite bit of urban planning for @StoryExchange_
Sheffield's Grey to Green scheme at Castlegate has become an "international blueprint for urban renewal that prioritises sustainability, biodiversity and climate resilience," writes @TomHock1.

We have devastating news 💔
A water pipe burst above our Hillsborough shop front, that we worked so hard to get & transform, & 75% of our stuff is destroyed.
We have insurance but it doesn't cover all the costs. If you can help/share we'd be so grateful

A mural organised by, funded by and created by #swfc fans.
We hope this can be the catalyst for more murals around the ground. Please do get in touch with the trust if we can help.
Been working on a little project with some mates - can't wait to see it finished #swfc
Really excited to see the finished article of this… @SWFCTrust have teamed up with @PeteMcKee for an #SWFC mural on the walk down to Hillsborough. Jose Semedo is the chosen subject.
