I'm immensely proud of my brother Edward and his ongoing work in the field of mine clearance - here filmed speaking about Ukraine, one of the most mine affected countries in the world. I was fortunate to visit Kyiv in 2016 and Odesa in 2019 & hope to return one day❤️ #IMAD2024
"What motivates me most are my children". Marking #IMAD2024, we asked specialists from different teams what inspires them to work in mine action. 🌟

Brilliant to return to CP track sessions just in time for winter training @cpsportscentre 🥶and see some temporary improvements. And to see so many groups there @dulwichrunners @TomPoyn Good luck with the refurb, sounds like it'll be more of a marathon than a sprint!
It's time to "attract outside investment" for @cpsportscentre 🏟️ as the refurbishment gets off the starting blocks at #CPNSC...
