Such an inspiring night at the SE100 awards last night. It's a real reminder as to why social finance is so important. Huge congratulations to all the winners, and everyone nominated for an award. And thank you to Pioneers Post for asking Lisa Raftery and I to judge.

This is a great new resource by the wonderful Lisa Raftery, useful for funders but also for anyone who wants to share with funders. #TraumaInformed is really crucial for seeing the person first and foremost so do follow and get involved.

👏Thank you Department for Culture, Media and Sport, it’s wonderful news for young people all over the country today. The #YouthInvestmentFund is giving young people amazing opportunities to thrive, have fun, make friends, discover their passions & gain valuable new skills for life and work.

Delighted that we can share the latest £70m funding commitment made to young people across England. Its such an important fund and will make a huge difference to the lives of these 12,000. I can't wait to see how the projects develop!

Throwback to what happened when someone said I 'couldn't' fly a plane #bollocks with the most incredible flying instructor who took me on when others said no.

Seriously! Is this really the world we live in. I'm utterly ashamed to be human. Good that McDonald's UK have recognised this is awful but what more do they plan to do? BBC News - McDonald's security guard soaks homeless man's sleeping bag bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

30 hours travel to have Christmas with my siblings. First time in 4 years we've been together. Worth every second of the travel pain and jetlag.

When you support 52 Lives, you do things like this ❤️ I'm VERY proud to be their chairperson. We also offer the School of Kindness , showing children the positive affect of being kind. If you haven't seen us, do have a look 👇

Domestic abuse increases during a football tournament, like now. The increase is higher in England if England lose. Don't do it. Don't be that person. If you know someone being abusive, do something to help. Anyone can contact support for advice. Look out for each other.

Absolutely fantastic night at the #ParalympicsGBHomecoming. Seeing and meeting the athletes was a total honour. Keep buying those national lottery tickets, the work you fund is phenomenal.
