With the return of Strictly, it’s timely to discuss the power of dance in maintaining health and wellbeing as we get older. Barbara Berkeley-Hill’s @TheRSAorg article highlights how dancing keeps minds and bodies active. @SageDanceCo1 https://t.co/MaEcJRCOAL

At the start of Pride Month, it's sad and disappointing to discover that a diversity gap means that LGBTQ+ people are less likely to reach the top jobs. Writing for @theRSAorg, @LaylaMcCay discusses the impact of this lack of role models.

Great piece from @falcutt Phillip Ward for @TheRSAorg that explains why we need a system that doesn’t simply look domestically to the next election, but is globally responsible and considers the world our children will inherit. #regenerativefuture

Fantastic interview with @CFigueres in the RSA Journal. You can learn more about how the 2015 Paris Agreement came about, why we are ‘way behind’ on nature, the importance of market forces to the debate and the significance of a golden toad. @theRSAorg

The long-awaited consultation on LGPS pooling is a step closer, with the government signalling in the Budget that rationalisation is needed. Not a great feeling for the smaller pools
