I’d like to introduce you to Hackney Laces, a group of fabulous young women I have the privilege of spending time with. Speaking of fabulous women, the super talented and painfully modest Zoe Quirk made this video for us. In her spare time she edited hours of footage to make this little video as an introduction to… Continue reading Meet Hackney Laces

30 Reasons
30 reasons is a month long email poster campaign that aims to encourage people to vote for Obama. This is one of my favourite amongst the lot, although there are *so* many great ones. Well done 30 reasons for helping re-elect President Obama. What a relief that is.
My New Best Friend
Two years ago, I met Jenny. We met on the internet (not as sketchy as it sounds). I put a call out on Twitter to see if anyone fancied getting involved with the project formerly known as ‘Just another football club‘. And @jennysimeone replied. We met for coffee and it was a match made in… Continue reading My New Best Friend
Blog Action Day 2012: The Power of We
10 years ago, Facebook was still an idea and Google wasn’t used as a verb. Encyclopaedias lived in libraries, and tweet was the sound a bird made.

Hackney Laces One Year On
It has been exactly a year since I was given an Unltd level 1 Award to set up the project now known as Hackney Laces. And a good year it has been. What began as me and 7 girls on rainy November nights has now turned into ‘we’ and a small army of players. In… Continue reading Hackney Laces One Year On
Bottles Made From Ocean Debris
Our oceans are filled with plastic. Plastic that comes from the products we buy, carrier bags we dispose of and materials we discard. Companies, both big and small have the choice to act and be proactive about the role they play in polluting the seas. Sadly few do. Insert method: a lovely little soap American… Continue reading Bottles Made From Ocean Debris
