Below is an example if one of my previous posts on my Paulmcg8 account but now shows up as a post on another person’s account - I am having difficulty getting through to X to get this sorted out - does anyone know the best way to contact a human person to speak to at X

Super event by @FAICoachDev on Monday in the brilliant @ExploriumI venue. @sturge_p @TheSessionC expertise, passion, vision for foundation phase is outstanding. Great to see the FAI so aligned with his views too. Lots to think about and take away to us here @shelsfc. #WetCement

A fantastic night with @sturge_p last night, we showcased some of our ethos on Play and also gained alot of expert insights from Pete throughout. We loved having a big crowd come and share in our Community of Practice event. More to come in 2026! #DevelopingExpertise

It was a pleasure to be part of the FAi’s new early years initiative aimed at giving 4-7 year olds a fabulous start to being active. The venue was incredible and the “BIG GUY” even turned up to fully endorse this child centred approach. Well done to all involved👏👏
