The @mrgayengland finalists have arrived The Alnwick Garden. Thanks to Go North East and the amazing Rainbow Bus 🏳️‍🌈

OMG - Latrine's 'music' round was just the tonic I needed for a Sunday evening! A thoroughly enjoyable LGBT+ History Month quiz organised by our fab One Team GNE LGBTQ+ Champions and hosted by the brilliant 𝙼𝚞𝚝𝚑𝚊 𝚃𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚊 🏳️‍🌈Can't wait for Friday's bingo!

It's been a pleasure to host Chris from the National AIDS Trust this evening for a very informative talk to Go North East colleagues about HIV progress and stigma. This is the first of our One Team GNE events for colleagues to mark LGBT+ History Month this February!🌈

🏳️‍🌈 LGBT+ HISTORY MONTH 🏳️‍🌈

It's #LGBTHM21 and our colleagues will be marking it with a range of activities, including interviews with LGBTQ+ team members, a live talk from the National Aids Trust, team quizzes, and sharing of LGBTQ+ information and facts. gonortheast.co.uk/go-north-east-…

Today is World Aids Day, as we remember all those who've lost their lives to AIDS-related illnesses over the years. Though in the UK HIV is no longer a death sentence, sadly it still is in many parts of the world, and HIV stigma persists. That's why we #RockTheRibbon today

Very proud to be part of One Team GNE and supporting #TransAwarenessWeek2020 - looking forward to contributing towards a new workplace policy for supporting transitioning colleagues and looking at all ways we can make our workplace more inclusive

Really interesting and enjoyable training with great Champions!

'The more certain someone is about covid-19, the less you should trust them' - good article arguing uncertainty vis Covid science must be embraced, and that changing minds in view of new evidence does not mean 'they don't know what they're talking about'! bmj.com/content/371/bm…

Looking forward to the next steps of the One Team GNE initiative where we'll pick Lead Champions and form working groups for each of the topics we'll be focusing on!

Spent the best part of four years (partly) researching food insecurity, and though I've been away from it for a while I'm certain that this is now more important than ever; it's only going to get worse if structural issues aren't addressed.

Feeling refreshed after a relaxing week's holiday with Adam Bewick on the beautiful Yorkshire coast - had some brilliant days out with the help of East Yorkshire handy #coaster service - an excellent way to get out and about without driving!

Had a great day up in Consett today in my feather boa, showing off our swanky new buses for X-lines services between Consett and Newcastle. You can even take your bike on board! A good way to encourage more active travel 🚴

Super excited to hold our inaugural ‘One Team GNE’ colleague network kick off session this afternoon to debate ideas and activities towards the aim of working together and creating better relations.
20 colleagues from across our company in attendance online with Joel Halligan and I👍🏼

Bikes on buses! How novel!! It’s important that we continue to innovate to improve public transport and attract people back to our clean and safe services. Stay tuned for more news on our latest customer innovations and service developents over the coming weeks 🚌 🍃 ⚡️👍🏼

Appreciating that I don't usually do much work stuff on social, but, we've got buses & drivers available if any North East business needs help getting key workers on shift - be it short term Park & Ride or something bespoke to aid social distancing......

A great result - testament to our highly skilled training team (and recruitment team too, for employing some fantastic people to start their career in the bus industry with us 😉)

It's a privilege to be able to be involved in this very worthwhile initiative (and get to use my research skills)! Had a great day on Tuesday, and I think lots of people went away with some good ideas for their respective businesses/departments.

Been out meeting potential applicants for the 2020 The Go-Ahead Group graduate management programme today at an impressive careers fair hosted by @NUCareers
