The 8th June sees a hunger summit being hosted in London and as such it is the right time to make some noise and create a presence to show how Britain feels about injustice towards the worlds poorest people. I plan to go along to the BIG If London event in Hyde Park to add my support to [...]
So, when I say that we are Two Knackered (& somewhat clueless in the field of cycling) Girls who will be riding two knackered bikes you may think that I am exaggerating. Well, for a starter, my own bike currently has no front wheel – so this goes to prove the knackered bikes bit. Secondly… [...]
Do you think that Two Knackered Girls, with two knackered bikes, minimal sense of direction & ridiculously rubbish fitness levels can cycle the 170 miles from Morecambe to Bridlington?

She is working with SWAN UK (Syndrome Without A Name), a project of The Genetic Alliance UK to highlight today’s first ever Undiagnosed Children’s Awareness Day.

I don’t want this blog to turn into a long list of posts where I moan about SEOs, but I had an approach yesterday that had me bashing my head against a wall. It started well – “Hope you’re well. I just wanted to get in touch to ask about your policy on guest posting [...]
I’ve recently started doing some voluntary work for Macmillan and it’s really exciting! I’m helping out with my local regions’ media sections like Facebook and the odd press release. It’s great being involved with something that helps people out and gives me some wonderful new experiences. It’s also lovely being able to occupy my mind [...]

Last September, we united again; shocked that nothing had changed, appalled by the torture and terror being suffered by Syrian women and children. Today, sadly, we have to do it [...]
