Rishi? Rishi Sunak Hi. Charity sector here! Remember us! The ones who sort the food banks, support the cancer patients, who provide vital mental health support, who do most of what statutory services don’t? Well, we won’t be here soon without urgent government financial support.

Latest results from our Charity Tracker Survey (with Account and CharityFinanceGroup) 💸 94% of charities are worried about finances 🤝 55% may not be able to meet demand over winter 🚶‍♀️ 43% are cutting jobs All of this = less people receiving vital support from charities

This from Save the Children UK is absolutely brilliant. ✅Open to being challenged ✅Quick to respond ✅Updated the advert ✅Pledged to always #ShowTheSalary in future HUGE Kudos to Save the Children UK for showing how easy this can be. And thank you to everyone who helped us get here!

Another wooden ball. Can’t the makers of Avocado vary the toys they put in?

Lots of discussion about the role of charities. Here’s a regular reminder 👇 Charities aren’t the nice extras in a community. They deal with the hard realities of life - abuse, care, violence, neglect, pain, sickness, death. Most relying on volunteers & few paid staff.

Have you been inspired by Jay Blades MBE Learning to Read at 51 on BBC One? Shannon Trust supports adults in prisons and the community to learn to read. Please support our vital work to ensure nobody is left out of learning shannontrust.org.uk/donate #jaybladeslearningtoreadat51

Thank you to Scottish Prison Service and HMP Castle Huntly. It was a pleasure to congratulate our Award winners and see the support and commitment from the staff. We look forward to continuing to work together to support more people on long sentences as they take their next steps.

1/ In case you forgot what politics used to be like - listen to this:

Today we granted financial support to 71 people preparing for life beyond prison. We funded gardening, project management, construction & nutrition courses, alongside tools for plastering, cake decorating and hairdressing. We look forward to seeing how each person's plans develop

We have received the welcome news that three of our prisoners have been successful in their The Hardman Trust applications. The Hardman Trust helps prisoners access courses which enhance career opportunities and reduce the risk of recidivism.

In October, the Hardman Trust issued £56,210 of funding to 67 people leaving prison, helping them achieve their goals on release. Each application for our support is unique and based on the person’s plan for the future. #prisonreform #hardmantrust #support hardmantrust.org.uk

The Conservatives have absolutely fucked the NHS.

This #InternationWomensDay we're celebrating the inspirational successes of the women who Hardman Trust have supported in the last 12 months. A total of £15,045 was awarded to 20 women, to help them lead fulfilling lives post-release.

One of our wonderful volunteers is challenging herself to overcome her fear of heights, through a flying fundraiser. Show her your support here gofundme.com/f/loopy-aeroba…
