All I could think of was my Grandad. I made him a promise I'd never, ever stop until I repaid the donor who saved his life
New, fairer and more inclusive rules on blood donation introduced today thanks to tireless campaigning from @FreedomToDonate & others mean I finally did it

You can’t beat a beaut @ProudBeerUK IPA as a predrink for the @OpiniumResearch Christmas Party!
Much love to @EthanLDN for the crate - keep your eyes peeled for all the exciting things he’s going to get up to in 2025!

We're beyond thrilled to announce this milestone - 90,000 queer beers sold 🎉
A massive shoutout to each and every one of you who has lifted us up, cheered us on, and enjoyed our brews.
And to our wonderful LGBTQ+ charity partners who receive 20p from every sale 🙌

Last year, we launched our very first LGBTQ+ Mentorship programme with over 120 professionals, free, for anyone in communications.

"What is savvy and even expedient at the ballot box can dent the efforts of firms which rely on certainty. Many innovative, high-growth businesses are, like one of the Prime Minister’s famous predecessors, not for turning."
My @CityAM piece this morning:

Queer supporters taking aim at queer organisers does nothing positive.
Who benefits from this? Not LGBTQ+ people.
🏳️🌈 NO PRIDE IN NEW OIL AND GAS
🛢️ Today, queer supporters of Just Stop Oil have been in negotiations with the organisers of @PrideInLondon, demanding Pride returns to its protest roots and empowers queer people to stand in civil resistance against their genocidal government.
🔥 We gave Pride a deadline of 5pm today to respond to our demand that they take a stance against new oil and gas licences.
📢 More info coming soon.

What exactly do our fabulous little cans do? And why do we believe we can revolutionise support for the LGBTQ+ community?
Here's why....
✨ 20 cans could pay for materials for a day of workshops from @diversityrm
✨ 50 cans could provide a school with anti-bullying posters

Let's be honest, beer is beer (however delicious)
But the charities we built PROUD around are truly life changing, it's why every single sale directly benefits them
No "% of profit" bull****, just a simple but powerful message of support for charities like @DiversityRM

Thank you @waitrose for the opportunity to talk about PROUD alongside the brilliant Lily from @QueerBrewing 💙🍺🏳️🌈

Day 1 of #PrideMonth and we're being asked to send free beer in exchange for some popcorn because "everyone loves a freebee in the office".
LGBTQ+ people don't need your proper popcorn, they need corporates who turnover £18m+ to take support for the community seriously.
🏳️🌈
Very proud of what our beer baby has done so far. Over £20,000 to @THTorguk, @DiversityRM, @LGBTfdn and a whole range of brilliant community groups and initiatives.
Here's not to pride during June, but putting our LGBTQ+ community at the very heart of what we do.
Cheers 🍺🏳️🌈
The US recently announced a "risk-based policy" based on "individual risk assessment"
⬇️🩸🏳️🌈
The UK now leads the way, announcing a risk-based system which allows gay and bi men to donate blood.
A huge day for @FreedomToDonate and for all the charities involved.
This is what passion and persistence can do 🏳️🌈💙
We said the work we did with @FreedomToDonate was world-leading, here's why.
Today, the FDA follows @NHSBT's lead and introduces a rather familiar new risk-based assessment for gay and bi donors
🩸🏳️🌈

I made a promise that I'd never stop campaigning until I could repay the donor who saved my Grandad's life.
Today, @FreedomToDonate's proposal of an individualised risk-based policy assessing risk NOT sexuality becomes official government policy.
Could not be prouder.

Save your "inclusive" brand campaigns unless you're committed, passionate and, most of all, in it for the long haul.

I suffered two consecutive seizures at the weekend, almost suffocating, most of what happened next is a complete blur
It looks like the majority is treatable but if it wasn't for the person who's been with me every possible second since, I wouldn't be here
💙 @KingsCollegeNHS
.@Family_Action's young people are engaged, eager to learn and driven to make a difference for themselves and their families, it's been an incredibly rewarding experience to spend time with them and I look forward to more workshops and seeing #HeadStart graduates in our office 💙
We’re proud to share that in 2022 Brands2Life supported over 90 young people with their progress into the workplace through our partnership with @family_action's @UKHeadStart programme, and we’re excited to support 90 more in 2023. More on our website 👇 bit.ly/40XPhd7
