Great to see Horticap so busy today & to catch up with The Yorkshire Gardener.

The view from the cafe looking magnificent & green houses very full of plants to buy.

Another great night with Harrogate Festivals & #BerwinSalonNorth . Three great speakers.

Won't be the same without Helen as host but as they say the show must go on....

A certain irony that the most commented recent news story from the The Stray Ferret is about itself moving to a subscription model.

Quality local news needed more than ever & personally looking forward to the May updates.

Great to have the Spiegeltent back.

Adds a certain ambience you don't get from the theaters (great though they are).

A couple of events booked!

Hear Neil Hind talking all things social value via ISO 20400 with @gill1beany from @go4growth_uk.

A challenging but useful meeting. Important the residents and politicians had change to raise concerns and ask questions directly.

Always a pleasure to chair theses meetings and the charity.

Not always easy but important the charities and voluntary groups do hold businesses to account when needed.

Suspect a lot more on this to come.

Also a poignant moment as Geoff Scurrah stands down from the #Charity after 21 years.

Geoff was also chair for many years. We thank him for his many years of hard work with the group.

Well done to Harrogate Festivals & all those involved in #BEAMHarrogate . Great feedback online.

These comments on the #Harrogate based light festival did make me laugh a lot.

Can't please everybody I guess.....ever!

Lots of recent debate on social value measurement & reporting.

Maybe a display board on site is the way forward?

Really interesting to see this on a Mace site in London.

Interesting article on why seeing early blossom & flowers this spring with quote via #Harrogate 's own Paul from RHS Harlow Carr.

Place based working in practice. Great to hold the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside procurement board at the very impressive Knowsley Community College campus.

The bird life of RHS Harlow Carr (& didn't even get to the bird hide!)

Who doesn't love a robot!

Great visit last week at local manufacturing business Vernacare.

Great example of a local business adding social value & working towards net zero.

Quite the gathering today on social value in the healthcare sector.

Some great discussion at the NHS Greater Manchester workshop with around 70 delegates from various sectors.

Lots to do but some great discussion with lots of ideas to follow up.
