Tonight my partner opened up his dental practice to a baby loss support group after his patient told him of her previous struggles trying to find a suitable venue due to covid. A safe & beautiful space in Kilmarnock. 🤍

1/11 The Piper Alpha memorial garden is being redesigned & rebranded by a charity which did not confirm it intentionally to the families involved before going ahead with their plans. This is why it was such an important place for my late father, Bob Ballantyne - a survivor.

30 years ago my dad was pulled over for jumping red lights while the streets were shut for Gorbachev receiving freedom of Aberdeen city. What the police didn’t expect to see was my mum holding a newborn, having just given birth in a Saab 93 😂 It’s been a wild ride ever since!!

11/11 It might not seem like a lot, but there’s much more to the history of the gardens. Maintaining them as intended is so important to families & survivors who still deal with the horror of that fateful night. Being somewhere the oilcos can be ‘proud of’ is a serious insult.

Some really awful replies here, especially from those with kids & daughters in their profile pictures. It’s football, it’s live drama & a goalie stepped up & equalised from a free kick in injury time. The personal attacks are vile. Do better & think before you tweet.

Is this the longest distance from goal you've seen a goalie score from? 🤯 Forfar Farmington goalkeeper Lauren Perry scores a 90th-minute equaliser to earn her side a SWPL1 draw at Hearts 👏

5/11 Pound for Piper is proposing that the redesigned garden should be firmly rebranded as the ‘North Sea Memorial Garden’. They’ve already ripped up rose beds. It should not be rebranded as a generic monument and garden, removing the association of the space with the disaster.

7/11 Surely it would be better to maintain the current garden in excellent condition rather than replace it with a design that includes a large concrete circle around the monument instead of the 167 roses that the families requested should surround it in the first place.

6/11 The Pound for Piper Trust stated in 2016, that it had received enough in donations to ‘support the upkeep of the memorial’ until 2036. (STV News, 21 September 2016). The garden was completely overhauled less than ten years ago.

3/11 not to offend the oil companies - and they asked the council for 167 roses to be planted around the memorial. Raising funds was problematic and took a very long time. Of the 28 companies who lost men in the disaster, only 21 contributed, most sending donations of around £50
