Confused by social media and wondering what this Twitter thing is all about? Well be confused no more – The You Can Hub has a new workshop for people who are wondering how to use Twitter to support their project, organisation or enterprise.

Because  we’re looking for your feedback on the session, we’re offering a special discount which gives 75% off! Use the code YouCanDiscount on our booking page where you will find full details. The workshop will be really practical and you will learn key terms and skills while also trying them out – on your own account if you want to! This workshop is particularly exciting because we’ve teamed up with Steve Bomford, of NebMedia, to inspire us with an overview of different ways individuals and organisations have used Twitter to support their work and achieve amazing results. Steve has over 10,000 followers on Twitter so it will be a fantastic opportunity to hear from him as well as having the opportunity to get feedback from him through Twitter as you start to tweet during the workshop.

So what are you waiting for? Book now or get in touch with any questions!

One of our steering group members, Aaran Hedges, is continuing to get people excited about You Can Bike Too, our all ability bike project! He is star of the show for an article in the Business section of the Cambridge News. Aaran is working with Ruth, another member of our steering group and also a keen cyclist, to take the steps necessary to get this project off the ground, along with other members of the project team, who are all volunteers.

Ruth and Aaran are hoping that the project will continue to gather pace. “I feel like it’s the beginning of changing people’s perceptions,” says Ruth. “To bring people together on bikes is a really exciting initiative. I feel passionate about inclusion and bikes are for everyone – bring on the fun!” Ruth and Aaran are bringing lots of different people together who are interested in finding out more about the project. The aim of the meeting is to find people who are interested in becoming stakeholders, who can see the benefits to the community and can advocate for the project in the right places. This is really important as the team continue to seek funding.

There are lots of different bikes for people to try – whether you have a disability or health condition, or you just want to try something different! The project that originally inspired Ruth and Aaran is called Pedal Power, and is based at Finsbury Park in London. It has lots of different types of bikes for people to try. A recent event in Cambridge at the Science Park organised by Travel Plan Plus also had some weird and wonderful options!
