One important thing for funders to acknowledge in the cost of living crisis is that to effectively address this at hyperlocal levels, they need to rely on more sophisitcated criteria other than IMD indices. Poverty down the road from high affluence is not being funded #WHFEvents

The psychosocial impact of the cost of living emergency needs to be better understood. Options of addressing cost of living crisis are either attenuating relationship of services or alleviate the crisis, both which have different policy responses - Pareth Patel IPPR. Or do both?

Fascinating session by Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy Prof Jen Shang on how to reflect and utilise the power of love to engage and retain charity donors. Major takeaway: Hope plus Bonding = Commitment. Charity Times #CTconference

This from fifa is delusional. And very much part of the problem. In what other industry would you get three opportunities to be discriminatory towards someone? Black footballers around the world don’t need any more solidarity or stock statements. They need action. #ViniciusJr

96-year-old RAF Flight Sergeant Peter Brown, died alone. But a viral campaign led to finding his family and a funeral fit for a World War Two veteran. Watch tonight on ITV London to see my report Please retweet to honour his service #windrush
