This recent article reminds me of Tom Crewe's incredible piece in London Review of Books from 2016, The Strange Death of Municipal Britain: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v38/…. A chilling article which has inspired me ever since. Public services don't lose money; they cost money. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Call to arms for designers/architects from Chris Hildrey of Proxy Address London Design Festival "We have to use less and create more intangible value. That's design."

📊 New report from CSJ Foundation reveals a stark imbalance in UK's charity sector. 85% of all charitable income goes to just 4% of registered charities, leaving grassroots organizations struggling to survive. #Charity #UKCharities csjfoundation.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

💰 Despite their crucial role in addressing poverty, small charities in the UK are severely underfunded. Government funding has decreased by £413M since 2013, pushing many to operate at a loss. CSJ Foundation

🏡 Grassroots organizations know their communities best, but they often lack the resources to compete with larger charities for funding. 79% of UK adults agree that small, local charities are often overlooked and under-resourced csjfoundation.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

🚨 The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of small charities, yet their financial struggles have only worsened. Post-pandemic, small charities saw a £4.6B decline in funding, while larger charities experienced a £4.5B increase.

Reports like this show the need for a rebalancing of funding, with specific allocations for local grassroots charities. We need policies that recognise and support small charities and provide for maximum impact.

We're thrilled to announce the new Design Council Expert network! With 240+ designers across multiple disciplines from fashion to policy, they'll champion our #DesignForPlanet mission, aiming to galvanise the UK's 1.97M designers towards net zero. Welcome to the team! 🌍✨
