Archie Goodburn has made an emotional plea to the prime minister. The Scottish 50m breaststroke record holder was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago.

Wow, politics in action. Watching the Scottish Parliament debating ‘Assisted Dying’ so much passion and compassion in speeches tonight across all parties. This is how a parliament should run 😮 This bill puts everything in perspective

Pops Group Cook-Off 🍳🔥 From chopping to plating… they really showed up and showed out. Along with learning key life skills they made a variety of tasty food including burgers, steaks, pasta, nachos and honey chicken. Safe to say nobody went home hungry! 😮‍🔥🍔🥩

Last year we supported over 1000 children and young people and 60 socially isolated through our Festive Provision. We are expecting these numbers to rise this year Our referrals are open (except Faside as this will open shortly). We are accepting donations, drop off points 🧵

It was nice to be welcomed into @RosehillHS yesterday to talk to S3s about all things to do with the Pennypit Trust for their YPI project. Jonathan also met past teachers from when he was in MGS. Nice wholesome end to the day 🙌
