Spent the day with an army of volunteers putting together hampers and dinners for people who will be alone on Christmas Day. Not sure I’ve ever done anything more worthwhile in my life. A joy to be apart of. 🎄

Our beautiful landscapes are wonderful, but we need to support the isolated communities that live there. That's why I have contributed around £600,000 to the Village Hall and Community Building Programme. Read more here: yorknorthyorks-ca.gov.uk/mayor-funds-...

Great to see York City goalscoring legend Keith Walwyn having a street named in his honour at the Bootham Crescent development. I met Keith’s wife, Liz, at the new houses on Keith Walwyn Walk, overlooking the green area where the pitch was located at the former ground of the #Minstermen.

I am nearing the end of my 5km a day challenge for Menfulness & I wanted to thank everyone for the support. This hasn't been easy, but navigating your mental health isn't easy either. That's why there are groups like Menfulness, they provide a brilliant support network for those who need it most.

Great to meet the Scarborough UTC Unity Racing team team before they flew out to Saudi Arabia for the F1 in Schools World Final. We must connect our young people to opportunities through skills development, careers support and future employment so we can create healthy and thriving communities.

Great to have Louise Haigh visit us today to discuss the future of buses in our region and the futher investment of £12.7m. I look forward to working closely with the Department of Transport to improve connectivity right across York and North Yorkshire.

Saddened to hear the news of John Prescott. A truly hardworking politician who did so much for the people of this country, no more so than those in the North. He’ll be missed. 🌹

🧵 Last week I went to see the great work Grow Yorkshire is doing to support our farmers. I know that farmers & rural communities are concerned right now. As Mayor of a predominantly rural region, I’ve made supporting farming a Mayoral priority, & it is the first of our priorities in our growth plan
