Such a pleasure to do this 'in conversation' piece with Fozia Irfan, discussing transformative philanthropy and social change - find out more about Fozia's work here: whyphilanthropymatters.com/transformative…

Wonderful to see ukfundraising covering the development of this University of Kent @sspssr module Kent Community Foundation Pears Foundation fundraising.co.uk/2024/04/18/uni…

No, no, no!! As wonderfully generous as our communities & charities are, this is not the way forwards - address systemic poverty & wealth inequality, charity cannot be normalised as the response to such state failure! It is not a sustainable solution! theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Some lovely images of our forest school site which forms part of our 30acre community conservation project at Led by the Wild CIC

A real privilege to join my friend Steve Chalke on a two part podcast talking about his new book #ManifestoForHope - in part one Steve shares his wisdom and in part two I respond! 👇

Happy to see the impact of our grants on local orgs, but the real joy? Helping students grasp the power of community organising, participatory engagement & collective action for a more socially just world. #SocialJustice #CommunityPower kent.ac.uk/news/community…

Education can motivate towards social justice but it cannot effect it. Only the educated can do that.

Marking students reflective blogs on our student philanthropy module. Their reflections on the challenges, power, criticisms & joys of philanthropy are outstanding & couldn't be taught through reading or lectures. Reminds me why I'm so passionate about experiential learning!

Embracing a trust-based approach means ceding power and control, and in exchange, so much more becomes possible. In this #TrustBasedStory , Solome Lemma of @thousandcurrents talks about that power shift, impact, and trust as a process, not a destination.

Seven, one of our gorgeous rescued ponies at Led by the Wild CIC, named as such as she was the seventh pony of 28 to be rescued from horrendous conditions, & it sort of stuck (star trek fan sorry!), wishes you all a very happy Easter!! 😊

Weekend reading, reacquainting myself with Dewey's work, before we dive into the final data analysis phase of our ESRC project, Educating for Public Good....

As a small community organisation, this funding makes the world of difference to us and most importantly to the many children, young people and communities we support! ☺️

I write about MrBeast in my upcoming Policy Press book 'Children as Change Makers' - in short find it problematic in the prevailing messages it teaches our children... this earlier article outlines some of the issues behind why I think it's a problem: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

I've two children, 1 kid breezes through school, the other, who's neurodiverse, struggles. The kicker? The latter relies 100% on supportive teachers. A single teacher can make or break his education journey. Let's ensure every child gets the champion they deserve! #ASD #Education

This is a huge, huge blow for the youth sector and youth voice!! A healthy, democratic society relies on the voices of the many and the erosion of the spaces and places championing children and young people's voices is a massive concern! 😥

Very proud to be part of launching the Medway & Swale social regeneration agenda. 200 delegates re-imagining systems & processes to better serve individuals & communities, & I presented on why children's voices need to be central to that conversation! A call to action for all!
