75 years. That's how long ago that Auschwitz Bireknau was liberated. The infamous Nazi extermination camp where millions were gassed. But why mention it? Why talk about it? Because if we do not, we deny it happened. We consign it to history books - and ignore it.

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the #lowerdrummans 100th @parkrun at Magilligan Prison last weekend. Over 60 people ran including a partially sighted runner and his guide runner from ‘Running Blind’ @RNIB. #parkrun #lowerdrummans #inclusion #rehabilitation

We agree @QTVI_Sarah it’s not enough to provide technology - there must be training too to maximise benefit
Successful employment of the majority of people with VI rests on excellent digital access skills. VI services support by provided access technology, but what happens if school staff don’t have the confidence in the use of tech? #DigitalSkillsDilemmaInEducation #EarlyIntervention

If your club/group is interested in using sport to boost emotional resilience in young people, get in touch with Judith on j.rankin@sported.org.uk We're developing resources and support around this topic and would like to know what would be most of use / how we can best help.
Resilient people can "roll with the punches" + adapt to adversity without lasting difficulties. It's a trait that can be learnt... and sport can help! We're developing resources to help your club around this topic. Interested? Contact Judith on j.rankin@sported.org.uk

Looking forward to working with Jacqui and the team @JohnPaulYC on this project, developing impact recognition and reporting, building for an even stronger, more confident future.
Our NI members & vols are inspirational in their own right.... but when we introduce them to each other, they’re unstoppable! Delighted to introduce @antrimbadger to @JohnPaulYC today as part of our #SoWhat project with @halifaxfni Look forward to hearing about their #impact!

I run because I can, thinking always of those less fortunate, who do not have the option to run as I do. I may be blind, but at least I have the ability to use my legs.
RT this, follow @AftershokzUK and complete the sentence: "I run because ..." to be in the Sunday 20th October 9pm draw to win a pair of the latest bone conduction waterproof headphones Aeropex (worth £149.95). We will have one lucky winner. Good luck! #ukrunchat
