Sometimes, the smallest changes make the biggest impact. Check out our latest UNPOLITICS episode where @chrishildrey explains how a simple address can unlock new opportunities for those facing homelessness.

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! 🌍✨

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.

🚨 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.

🏡 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…

💰 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. @CSJFoundation

📊 New report from @CSJFoundation 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

@OctopusEnergy Spoiler: @OctopusEnergy after 3 weeks absolutely nothing has happened. Nothing.

@chrishildrey Hey Chris, this definitely isn't the experience we want our customers to have. I can see that we're waiting for further details from you via DM to be able to help. As soon as they're confirmed, we'll get this picked up right away. 🐙

@OctopusEnergy have the worst customer service ever. Convinced it's a potemkin energy supplier with no actual staff. Weeks and still no contact. Never thought I'd long for the days of British Gas.

Call to arms for designers/architects from @chrishildrey of Proxy Address @L_D_F "We have to use less and create more intangible value. That's design."

Really enjoyed speaking with @g_kafka about the @ProxyAddress story so far. Kudos to George for his amazing write up and the decision to use @cafeartuk participants' beautiful images. 👏 #TechForGood #socialimpact #homelessness

Without an address, it's hard to exist. Architect @chrishildrey designed @ProxyAddress as a system to redistribute postal addresses to people experiencing homelessness. Now the challenge is adapting it to local councils. Read the full story here: bit.ly/3sEo9Dg

This recent article reminds me of @TomCrewe1's incredible piece in @LRB 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.

You're a deep thinker in this area Chris. As you know, I'd love to see this trialled in Croydon as well
