Honoured to be hosted by the Honorary Counsul of Finland in Scotland tonight for a reception to celebrate the visit of @tukenafi to us here Enable - so much opportunity for collaboration between our countries and organisations 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇫🇮

It was a fantastic evening, highlight being Ken Macintosh presenting Jyrki Pinomaa with a lifetime membership of Enable on behalf of Theresa Shearer FRSE - great recognition of his support for our organisation and the leadership he has shown for #Inclusion across the world

Nice to be back Scottish Parliament today with Sarah Boyack MSP and colleagues from Global Partners Governance to welcome a group of very switched on and informed clerks from Parliament of Malawi

Today, I met with Lar Housing Trust team Inspiring to see their dedication in delivering affordable, high-quality homes while supporting communities We had conversations on the challenges facing the housing sector and how innovative approaches are delivering sustainable living

Thanks for coming out to see us Mark Griffin. The Lar Housing Trust not only saves tenants around £270 a month, it uses loan finance rather than housing grant. It is such a good model of affordable and sustainable public funding.

An honour to meet Speaker Khenpo Sonam Tenphel and to support the work of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile . Thank you Ross Greer @scotparl USAID India National Democratic Institute for organising

Thanks Jamie Cooke - good to celebrate what Enable and supporters have achieved, but as members reminded us today, so much more to do

A lot of love for Theresa Shearer FRSE from members of Enable in the room today

So pleased you could join us Meghan Gallacher MSP. As you saw for yourself, Lar Housing Trust not only provide great homes for people on low incomes, our loan finance model is the way forward for sustainable public funding

Thanks for coming to visit Graham Simpson & Dr Abigail Fletcher and for your comments. As you saw, the repurposing of our industrial heritage is first class - and I knew you would appreciate the Lar Housing Trust financial model.

Jamie Greene MSP One of my fondest memories of Betty, is of her refereeing of the annual Polis V Politicians football match at the gala day, usually resulting in Jim Murphy or Ken Macintosh being handcuffed to their own goalposts. 😂 She was a well liked woman, and she'll be missed.
