It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here at The Brilliant Club 🥳

Had the most amazing time in Kenya the past 2 weeks. It’s going to take a while to get used to the drop in temperature though, going from 27c to 9c! 😱

Heading to an EDI conference today, put on by Institute of Government & Public Policy . Looking forward to discussing the various topics, thinking about EDI The Brilliant Club and how we can further progress and imbed the work that we are doing.

Just completed the first morning session Institute of Government & Public Policy EDI conference. Interesting thoughts and comments - some new, some reinforced. Looking forward to the rest of the day #igpp

Capturing the vibrant energy and bustling activity of the exhibition lounge at The Second Annual National Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in the Workplace Conference 2024 today. #igppEDI #EDI #diversity #equality #inclusiveworkplace

Take aways/ reminders from the EDI conference Institute of Government & Public Policy - To see real change EDI has to be everyone’s responsibility. - Allyship is about being an advocate for colleagues. - Equality is important but equity makes it fair for all. Also, be mindful of EDI burnout

A heartfelt thank you to all the delegates and speakers for their invaluable presence and contributions today, making the Second Annual National Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Workplace Conference 2024 a success! #igppEDI #EDI #equality #diversity #inclusiveworkplace

Had a great All Staff Day yesterday with colleagues The Brilliant Club, always inspiring hearing from our CEO Anne-Marie Canning. The whole day had lots of food for thought - thanks for sharing Matt Plen, Zoë Morgan & Katrina Roberts. Thank you Allen & Overy for hosting us!

Saw The Kingdom Choir last night, as they celebrated their 30th Anniversary at Barbican Centre - it was absolutely fantastic. The vibes, energy, vocals and musicality 🔥🥳 having YolanDa Brown OBE join as a guest artist, topped off a brilliant evening #livemusic #gospel #choir

National Service Piers Morgan🗣️ What about the Nations service to our 18yr olds? What they’ve been through. A Gen that lost the best years of their lives. They can’t afford to rent. Can’t afford food. Punitive tuition fees. Probably won’t earn more than their parents… #bbcqt

#ITVDebate is anyone going to answer the questions being asked? Don’t need speeches, need answers Rishi Sunak Keir Starmer

OMG, the debate audience just LOL’d Rishi. #ITVDebate

Starmer: NHS waiting lists are now 7.5 million. They’ve gone up… Sunak: NHS waiting lists are coming down…(laughter) from where they were when they were higher…#ITVDebate

That moment when you leave a party early and your crush turns up and starts flirting with your mate …

Big moment for The Brilliant Club! Full page ad in Financial Times today via our supporters SocialBusinessTrust.

Officially start this course today with @IncEmp. Haven’t done an assignment since finishing uni - about 16 years ago 🥴 I’m looking forward to the challenge and the learning. But most importantly the impact this will have The Brilliant Club as we continue to deliver on our EDI aims.

So many lessons to be learnt here, not least that neither publisher nor the writer consulted with any Indigenous organisation/community/individual for the book. And it contains indigenous words .. which also had errors. theguardian.com/food/2024/nov/…
