Love this Heat Pump Tourism story based on our Visit a Heat Pump service. I'd love the Welsh media to do a similar story, so that we can spread the word even more in Wales. It's such a fab service www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Have you ever wondered how we could change the planning system in Wales to make getting a heat pump simpler? (Go on, admit it, I know you have...). Marine Furet sets out the case for what this (or the next) Welsh Government should do. www.nesta.org.uk/blog/the-wel...

Estyn (Ofsted equivalent in Wales) are looking into the advantages and disadvantages of AI in schools. This is great nad I hope there's links to be formed with the work that @nestauk.bsky.social have been doing exploring the role of AI in the early years sector

Da iawn, Lidl ❤️💕❤️
