It's not just people with low/no income - people in insecure work, no matter how well paid, struggle to access Cycle to Work as you need a certain period left on your contract to access it.

It's not often I drive for work... but today was an exception! The wonderful team at SUEZ UK Campground recycling centre have been saving scooters from the tip for us to upcycle as part of our summer scooter project with Gateshead Council.
We know that children’s world view is shaped by the media and art they consume. So many children’s books heavily feature cars or motorised transport in one way or another, to the extent that many children’s books about transport never even mention bikes or scooters! (1/4)
Love this!
Year 1 have taken the final steps in saving the bees today. We have planned a bee corridor from Gosforth Park to our own wildflower garden at Archibald and delivered seeds to local residents to help us. Thank you to the PTFA, @38degrees and JustBeeHoney for the seeds! 🌷🌻🐝

We want your unused scooters to fix them up!
We're partnering with The Green Heart Collective to get your old scooters to people who’ll use them.

@robaustinn very well written letter to you about the traffic in Gosforth! If you want to talk solutions to get back to this concerned resident you know where I am 😜
Year 3 have used book creator to create information leaflets about elephants. We’ve also decided to take action in Gosforth by writing to our local councillors! #AFSPSHE

On Saturday 27th July my mum (@sheinazs) is hosting an 'Open Garden' to help raise funds for the local church's roof to be fixed. She and neighbours are planning garden tours, raffle, music, stalls, etc. It's £5 per adult, free for kids, with hot drink and piece of cake incl.
Reminder we have a Dr Bike for pupils at :
@West_Jes_School tomorrow
@Kingston_Pk_sch on Friday
Disclaimer: while Bob can fix anything, we do safety checks and minor maintenance. But we will tell you if there's anything bigger that needs to be looked at!
Preparing for 3 weeks of work experience pupils joining the team - any advice to make sure they get the most out of their experience?

I'm back from 3 weeks interrailing in Europe for a very belated honeymoon! Lots of adventures, but here are some fun active travel/public realm/child-friendly things I saw when we were out and about...
Super busy day at Gosforth Junior High yesterday!

A very busy Dr Bike at @ArchibaldFirst last Friday - so many bikes I ran out of a few parts, so was back to finish them off on Tuesday in the sunshine!
67 bikes done in total 🚲
Mum's getting out on the e-bike, and it's new bike day for me tomorrow! Stansfield and ex-Stansfield trip out over the bank holiday I think.
Great evening ride. Hopefully do more now nights are lighter.
