Tonight, London joins the world in marking @wwf.org.uk’s Earth Hour, with City Hall among the many buildings switching off their lights between 8:30pm to 9:30pm.

This moment unites us in our commitment to tackling climate change and protecting our environment for future generations. #EarthHour

Absolutely epic evening in Luton seeing #RaveNewWorld by #TangledFeet and @revolutonarts.bsky.social. The political and the joyful in one evening...with aerial performances?! Too brilliant! Well done, Feet! These pics don't do it justice!

If it wasn't already clear, Stephen Graham is one of our most incredible actors. From #ThisIsEngland to #Adolescence and everything in between, he can make us feel something for every character he plays, no matter how difficult they are. Utter genius.

We even won the networking bingo! Looking forward to using the prize which was an art kit inspired by mindfulness and nature from Rosetta!
We had a great time celebrating #SocialPrescribingDay early yesterday, working alongside partners, @lahartshealth.bsky.social to support Rosetta Arts in the development of a #CreativeHealth Alliance for Newham.
Thanks to @artscouncilengland.bsky.social for funding us to do this work.
