Today I chaired a great discussion on the opportunities and challenges around the re-use of heritage buildings for housing. A big thank you to all the panellists #HeritageDay2025
How to realise potential of Heritage to creates homes? Our panel at #HeritageDay2025 suggests local partnerships, pragmatic planning approaches to adaptation and reuse, and funding or other financial incentives (eg VAT reform) could enable large scale success.

I'm donating £163. I've been a massive fan of the work of @archhfund.org.uk for many years and even more so since I joined the board & seen what they achieve at close quarters. Whilst we work with buildings, what we do is about people. Have a look at website if you don't believe me!
It’s #GivingTuesday!

Last night saw the opening of the Christmas Lights @leedscastle.bsky.social in Kent and they are absolutely stunning, made all the more so by the beautiful landscaped gardens. I went with my family and they loved it.

Lots of talk here on @bsky.app about echo chambers. After the Brexit vote I realised that I'd been living in one, and since then I have worked hard to listen to range of opinions, including those I don't agree with.

As a blood cancer survivor I would really love people to sign up. I was lucky enough not to need a transplant but for many people it's their only hope of survival. Anyone up to age 55 in reasonable health can apply to join the register. www.dkms.org.uk/donation-exp...
