Famed for its puffins, the picture-perfect island of Lundy attracts birdwatchers from all over. But the island is on the cusp of being evacuated as water levels drop to the lowest levels ever, forcing residents to take drastic measures to ensure supplies do not run out. Located in the Bristol Channel off the north Devon coast, the 5km (3.1 mile) long island is not the first place you expect to be running out of water. It is rich with wildlife including puffins and seals and its rugged landscape makes for breathtaking views. But speak to the handful of residents here and they will tell you of the battle waged since summer to ensure the taps do not run dry. Entirely self-sufficient, the National Trust-owned island relies on a combination of rainwater and boreholes drilled into the granite for supplies. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6jd…

Well done, Emily. Enjoyed serving on the Volunteer Advisory Panel @alzheimerssoc with her. Can still hear her voice stopping discussions with the words: "It doesn't work like that in Northern Ireland!"
Our incredible supporter and volunteer, Emily, shares why she's campaigning for better dementia diagnosis and support, after her late husband Jim was diagnosed in his early fifties.

#CrimesAgainstHumanity by #Russia in #Ukraine #Russification of Ukranian Children #PutinWarCriminal Return all Ukrainian children to Ukraine now! #SlavaUkrainii 🌻🇺🇦
Russia is using education and military training to erase Ukrainian identity and prepare children for service in its armed forces. At Bring Kids Back UA’s request, Georgetown Law’s @gtownicji examined this policy in an interim report presented by Ambassador Clint Williamson at a UNGA side event. The analysis finds violations of Russia’s obligations as an occupying power and under international human rights law. It also identifies grounds for investigating international crimes, particularly persecution on national grounds as a crime against humanity. We thank the ICJI team for providing a practical legal framework to support investigations, accountability and protection for affected children. These findings must inform action: preserving evidence, investigating those responsible, bringing children home and supporting their recovery. Read the analysis below. #BringKidsBack #ChildrenAreNonNegotiable

Hospice care is expert medical care. But it can also be a last cuddle with your dog. A favourite drink in the evening. Having your nails painted. It's being listened to. Being understood. Being treated as you. Right to the very end. 💛 #HospiceCareWeek

I think I missed this news when it was published but considering how gloomy the news is...am going to share it.👇 White Mills Meadow is a six hectare floodplain meadow near Earls Barton on the banks of the River Nene. This will be the Trust’s 34th reserve in the county and has been generously given to the Trust by a local farming family who would like it to be managed for nature. wildlifebcn.org/news/rare-fl…

Great news 💚 Three years since Swanage Downs in Dorset was designated as a local nature reserve, evidence is emerging of an increase in the number of wildflower species. Volunteers supported by environment group Sustainable Swanage have undertaken annual wildflower surveys since 2023 and records show an increase in biodiversity since a new management plan left 50 percent of the area unmowed over the summer. Between 2023 and 2026, volunteers have spotted 68 wildflower species including pyramidal and common spotted orchids. swanage.news/survey-reveals-…

“I lived under occupation for 10 years. After that long, Russian propaganda starts to disgust you… You don’t feel it influencing you, but it’s impossible to describe how exhausting it becomes when, at every turn, St George’s ribbons and ‘Z’ symbols are shoved in your face, and you’re told that Russia is the ideal and Russian soldiers are heroes,” 18-year-old Olha, who left Crimea, told @KRYMSOS in an interview. Children and young people from Crimea have the right to preserve their language and culture, study free from Russian propaganda and choose their own future. Leaving can open access to education and support in Ukrainian government-controlled territory. Their connection to Crimea remains. #BringKidsBack

#7in7TheGrandFinale ❤️ 🧡 💙 The #7in7 runs are done, but Sir Kevin will NEVER stop banging the #MND drum.... 🥁 "I've made a commitment for life, that I'll carry on doing this. It might look different, because there'll come a point when I can't run, but I'll continue to fundraise and raise awareness and try and help families. The consistent message is: I will be looking to do something again next year, but I'm not quite sure what yet...." Superhuman and a super human! #MND #MoreNeedsDoing!

7 runs. 7 days. Millions raised for charity and every step of the way he’s carrying a friendship, a promise and hope for families facing MND. Watching Super Kevin Sinfield go again and again this week has been amazing. His friendship with Rob Burrow has moved so many of us and through these extraordinary challenges he reminds us about what it means to keep turning up. If you can, please donate.

It is incompetence...and wilful neglect. Do have a read as it impacts us now. 👇 In the third national climate adaptation programme, published in July 2023, the Conservative government, then headed by Rishi Sunak, said it would run a wildfire risk programme in England from 2023 to 2027 so land management would be adapted for the risk. However, it has now emerged the programme was never implemented, with the current government stating the commitment “was made by the previous government but was not brought into effect”.
And blindly on we stumble… insufficient PPE for firefighters on the front line. Let alone action on the ground to protect us & landscape from climate damage #rewetting #climateactionnow #stopfossilfuels theguardian.com/world/2026/o…
