Thank you to Usmaniyah Takeaway for hosting another excellent Community #Iftar in #Barnoldswick.
In giving and receiving food and hospitality, we were a reminder that mutual respect, goodwill, and friendship are the way of peace, which is much needed in the world today.

Hope is in the sharing. So today, we’re bringing you a small collection of mighty things, people, art and ideas that not only embody Hope in the Making – our festival theme for 2025 – but also bring hope to the Greenbelt staff team. What would you add to the list?

Hope has been in the making at Greenbelt for more than a half-century, and it’s our theme for this year’s festival. We choose to roll up our sleeves, open our hearts and be reminded that, together, we can be the change we want to see. We’d love you to join us. www.greenbelt.org.uk/hope-in-the-...

Today's walk felt like Spring, and today is #Imbolc - halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox
Imbolc was celebrated by the ancient Celts as the transition from the dark, cold days of winter to the promise of warmth and growth. As the days lengthen Imbolc represents hope & renewal

It's increasingly difficult to navigate social media, especially as a values-led organisation that uses social media to recruit new students, but the move from X to Bluesky was a simple choice.

Now we could use your help finding our people on this new platform! Follow and repost if you love:
