This #InternationalWomensDay I’d like to say a huge thank you to my mentor JuliaWolfendale 🇺🇦. She is an amazing supporter of all I do and I hugely value her wisdom and compassionate challenge. She’s an inspirational author, coach, businesswoman and friend. Happy IWD Julia 💛

Karen from Turn Up the Value will share the story of social enterprise at the Smithills and highlight how businesses have enabled the @WoodlandTrust to create more social value from their estate. #business #networking #event #SouthPennines #Bolton #greatermanchester

Had an awesome day showing Ladybridge High Year 8 learners around the #SmithillsEstate - discussing the past, present and future of this beautiful place. So proud to be a governor of a school who aren’t afraid to do things differently to inspire and engage their learners.

Loved supporting this session and sharing what inspired me to enter into the world of #Sustainability and #socialenterprise

A reminder about why I do what I do and that it’s ok to shout about it…. 👇👇 linkedin.com/posts/karen-sm…

Lovely day visiting @WoodlandTrust Frodsham Woods. Beautiful views, wildlife and ancient woodland at this iconic sandstone ridge ♥️🌳

Called in to say hi to The Coffee Box team at the #SmithillsEstate and couldn’t resist a coffee and a stint on the laptop on the benches up here. We have WiFi and a beautiful view if you fancy a change of scenery! @WoodlandTrust

I had the same thought 😢

The Bolton 574 bus my daughter and her friends catch to school hasn’t turned up once since the start of term, leaving them unable to get there on time without the help of parents who also have places to be. Bee Network Andy Burnham when will this problem be resolved?

Fab night at the #BOLTONBUSINESS2023 Awards! Thanks to @boltonathome for inviting me to your table! Well done to all those shortlisted 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Who's heading to the #GMGreenSummit2023 this morning? Always an interesting and inspiring day and so important to bring people together around this most critical challenge of our time. Looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues there too 💚

BBC Radio 4 PM Andrew Bowie This is how fascism spreads. Tell lies, repeat them over and over, make people fearful of something that doesn't exist, and then claim that you are the only way of preventing these non-existent horrors. Sickening that politicians should behave like this.

Couldn’t agree more. Braverman’s speech is sickening- I genuinely can’t believe the divisive, hypocritical garbage that is being spouted by the so called leaders of our country.

Really enjoyed delivering a workshop to third year business students at Manchester Metropolitan Uni all about my business, my clients, social value and the journey I took to get me here! Hope I provided some inspiration for the next generation of social entrepreneurs
