Really excited to at this event today organised by @salawatson.bsky.social what an incredible line up of speakers. Great to have a day focusing on my two big passions ✨play✨ and ✨mobility✨

‘A good thing for children’: summer camps at risk in UK as costs rise Campaigners urge government to recognise ‘authentic childhood experience’ provided by summer camps, in upcoming youth strategy

This is a brilliant article- read and share 😊 I’ve had the privilege of working with ATE superweeks for over 20 years and have seen the power of allowing children independence; giving them space to be themselves away from pressures of day to day life; and play!

You’re here too! Let’s have a coffee together!

Well said, councillor Katie Collier @positivelyplayful.bsky.social This is good news, but the government needs to go further and scrap the two-child benefit cap to lift more children out of poverty.

So thrilled to be here at the Start with Children summit thanks to @bikebusworld.bsky.social so looking forward to 2 days of thinking, learning, planning, plotting about what we can do to build cities that work for children #startwithchildren

This weekend Rob is running the London marathon for RNLI, who were so amazing when his dad was lost at sea during a kayak race. He’s raising money for them in his dad’s memory 2025tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/rob-colli...

Yes of course!

Terrible idea. More parking won’t make it safer for children; nor will it improve air quality around the school; nor will it enable more people to walk or cycle.

I was lucky enough to facilitate the workshop with children and young people, and so got to witness them create this…

Reflections on the Global Bike Bus summit 2025: 1) It was energising being in the same space as so many inspiring, kind and positive change makers. 2) Children’s voices need to be front and centre when it comes to active travel and urban design. How we allow them to move matters.

Yeeeaaahhhhh we are!

So excited to have @cyclesprog.bsky.social putting in this session for families tomorrow! 🥳

Thank you! I’ll share the YouTube links with you too!

This week in Worcester we are hosting the Global Bike Bus summit- CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! (especially givenWorcestershire’s track record for active travel, perhaps in spite of😒). So EXCITED

*acknowledgment

I did, and I’ve also attended county council meetings to verbally share this evidence. Have never received responses or even acknowledges, sadly.

Barriers to cycling for women in Worcester — Bike Worcester Exploring the challenges women face when cycling in Worcester based on insights from over 100 local women, from dangerous driving behaviours and inadequate infrastructure to personal safety concerns, ...

Absolutely agree Alison- I wrote a blog for Bike Worcester compiling experiences of women locally who cycle. Abuse, intimidation and aggression from male drivers is far too common www.bikeworcester.org.uk/blog/2024/06...

And if you want to know a bit more about what Kidical Mass means to us in Worcester and what happens on one, have a read of this blog post www.bikeworcester.org.uk/blog/space-f...

Check out our short video about Worcester’s Kidical Mass today. Despite grim weather, it was BRILLIANT. There’s so many people who want to re-imagine how our cities look, and who think the way we’ve designed out independently mobility for young people is so wrong. #kidicalmass #bikeworcester

💚💚💚 thanks for sharing

I just think it’s important we don’t leave young people out of the conversation about local government reorganisation and how the future of local democracy looks when it’s *their* future too

Starting to put together the #bikebus summit line up for 2025 - it’s very exciting!!!

Are you in?

Oh look at this! So exciting!

It was a joy to share your work with others

We talked about our vision for making Worcester a child friendly city (and how we dream of a sandpit and an adventure playground) 3/3
