Really hoping to see whether we have the opportunity to speak to the Production Finance Market @FilmLondon. This will take our development to have a real social impact with this #documentary which hasn't been produced before...

Absolutely tragic that this amazing neuro rehab facility focusing on outdoor rehabilitation has now closed. Ground-breaking and effective, we filmed & sampled their fantastic activities for our documentary in October 2023. Effective rehab requires funding! @CalvertLakes #ABI #TBI
The Lake District Calvert Trust can confirm the closure of its 10-bed acquired #braininjury rehabilitation unit in Keswick (known as Calvert Reconnections): nrtimes.co.uk/lake-district-… #ABI #neurorehabilitation

We took our notebooks to the beach to process all our learnings from #Raindance2025 but, fell asleep on the beach, certainly a good way to relax after 10 days of hard networking, watching the festival God, swimming in the sea is good 😁
The @Raindance #FilmFestival: fabulous & utterly relentless. But boy were we glad to get back to the People's Republic of #Brighton & #Hove on the w'end! #heatwave #beach Excellent new venue configuration this year meant a high concentration of creative abundance to connect with

🚨 @keirstarmer I have an urgent agenda item for your discussion with Donald Trump tomorrow: stop genocide in #Sudan. 1 million refugees, mostly women & children are running out of food. And many could die unless global leaders do something about it. #Darfur via @Avaaz

Hi @peterkyle. There is a golden opportunity to deliver the joined-up, science-led legislation to put the UK back on track. Will you and the Government support the #CANBill—when it's brought forward? action.zerohour.uk/hove-and-… @ZeroHour_UK

Glad that @axainsurance did not repatriate someone who was in a Coma from a TBI when patients are not safe to travel. I was in this situation 2010 and had great travel insurance who put me in the care of an excellent neurosurgeon who was 100% focused on safety and good outcomes
