It’s #PoolePride Eve Lighthouse Poole and the building is nearly ready for Poole’s first Pride 🌈 We saw the culmination of the Queer Film Festival in the cinema 🎦 and a special Pride & Unheard gig in the Studio. Poole Pride is finally here: It’s been a long time coming! 💪🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Still on quite the comedown after #PoolePride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ immeasurably proud of the Lighthouse Poole team and all the artists who pulled off a spectacular afternoon of inclusivity and celebration. It feels like we really made a difference. One of my proudest work moments, for sure 💪

Such good news for Poole. Geez, am I glad I was able to cast my vote in this constituency before I leave! Congratulations to Neil Duncan-Jordan MP, who won by just 18 votes. Every vote really does matter!

After 5 years, I’ve said farewell to Lighthouse Poole where I’ve had the best time. There are too many highlights to count but I’d like to thank the team, and all those I’ve worked with, for making my time in Poole so special. They’re called the Lighthouse family for a reason 👏

There will be women tonight dreading their partner coming home. Football does not cause domestic abuse, but it can become more frequent or severe after big games, with reporting increasing by 38% when England lose. Go to womensaid.org.uk. In an emergency, always call 999.
