So proud and privileged to have joined @IcklePickles Children’s Charity as an Ambassador. The work they do to give sick and premature babies the best possible start is absolutely invaluable, and I cannot wait to get started working with them to raise awareness and vital funds! 💙

Have you ever considered how a blind person uses an advent calendar? 🚨Spoiler alert, we can’t. In the UK, 2 million people live with sight loss, with 360,000 being blind. So, why don’t brands add tactile features on advent calendars to make them accessible?

🥈 EUROPEAN SILVER MEDALLIST! 🥹 Beyond happy to have won my first ever major champs medal, but also a little gutted to miss out on the title by a hit. HUGE THANKS to my entire team, who got me from barely being able to move due to a hip injury, to the podium..in four weeks! 🫶

This is incredible! 👏 And goes to show that there should be no barriers to sports journalism for those of us with disabilities. All it takes to make the industry accessible is the right support, infrastructure & companies who see the benefit of being inclusive in their hiring!

Why is it always almost only women that have to speak out? I know men's players and coaches potentially could get scrutinized for standing up, but so do women. Take a stand and help build a better society. You have the security around you to do so, women don't. Use your platform.

Really grateful to @loraturnham for taking the time to speak to us so openly about her experiences of returning to cycling after having a baby - and fresh off the back of a 'bittersweet' World Championships where she won silver just nine months after giving birth. 👏

"I want to feel I can still be part of the team and a mum." Paralympic champion Lora Fachie says she’s had a lack of support from British Cycling since having a baby. The governing body confirmed it has referred itself to Sporting Integrity. 📱Listen back @BBCSounds
