@tonywilsonIES Huge challenges ahead @tonywilsonIES Companies struggle to survive, high inflation, interest rates and cost of living crisis. The government need to act now before it's too late. Hopefully infrastructure investment such as self reliance on energy will create new opportunities.

Surprisingly poor jobs data today. Recent employment recovery appears to have stalled, with worklessness rising again; while real pay continues to fall as living costs rise. What a way to enter a slowdown... New PM needs to act quick on incomes and participation - thread below.

@HumbersidePCC @HumbersidePCC Will be great to see the impact this funding will make. We are working with several VRUs to evaluate Trauma Informed approaches and are supporting @LDN_VRU to co-design and deliver their inspiring #StrongerFutures programme.

Humber Violence Prevention Partnership launched. A new partnership to lead the local response to serious violence in the Humber area is starting work today following a successful application for Government funding. Read more at ow.ly/zUOt50K5mPK

Very proud to share our new @_RocketScience_ #Grants brochure with a range of services to support all #Funders to deliver impact driven programmes. Please download our brochure and start a discussion….. rocketsciencelab.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

Great to see this free 3 part discussion on challenges in rural communities, starting with Coastal Communities.

@Evaluationista @JohnRocketSci @CherriBlissett @RMScothorne @ClareRocketSci @IreneKinroy Nothing beats face to face @Evaluationista. I know by the end of today there will have been much thinking, discussion and planning with a clearer understanding of what we all need to do and achieve over the next year. Very exciting!!

Newcastle here I come first in person board since Feb 2020...@JohnRocketSci @CherriBlissett @RMScothorne @ClareRocketSci @IreneKinroy .. planning for 2022/23 #CostOfLivingCrisis #poverty #inequality #inworkpoverty #covidgeneration #aspirations #mentalhealth tough times ahead

@Evaluationista That's so disrespectful and frustrating. Do they think you just deserved a seat for a laugh? It says reserved on it and still the ignore.... Can't believe some of our society still disregard respect and decency.

Why is it that the past two train trips this week men have sat in my reserved seat and refused to move despite there being other seats. Apparently women dont need power points to work from plain rude #mysogyny in action #lner.

@YF_Foundation @ersa_news @lpc_progression @CarersTrust @dfnsearch @AREtweets_ @YEUK2012 @ubeleinitiative Great to see and glad @_RocketScience_ could play a part in the journey. To see the awarded grants and impact these recent award will make is much needed for the current economic conditions and squeeze we are all feeling from the cost of living crisis.

Congratulations to @ersa_news, @lpc_progression, @CarersTrust, @dfnsearch, @AREtweets_ @YEUK2012 and @ubeleinitiative, organisations that will benefit from £1.3m as part of @YF_Foundation's Infrastructure Fund phase two🚀💫 Find out more👉 youthfuturesfoundation.org/news/1-3millio… #dormantassets

@LondonYouth @LegatumInst @centreforlondon @LDN_VRU @MayorofLondon @LondonFunders @londoncouncils @PYL_London @trustforlondon Great update @tjboycie! Glad to see you still at London Youth. VInspired seems a long time ago now. @JohnRocketSci @_RocketScience_

Did you know? In 2019/20, 56% of children in Tower Hamlets were living in a low-income family (after housing costs). This is the highest level of child poverty in the UK. Read this @LegatumInst report on poverty in London: li.com/reports/povert…

@Evaluationista @Jennyw_MT Hi Jenny. I'm sure you might have a few potential contacts...

📢 Hi network can anyone recommend a company that does animations...#animation #policy ?

1 day left to apply to the @NorthTyneCA Youth Employment Small Grant Programme. We'd love to hear from you and how you will reach 16-24 year olds who are not currently supported through mainstream youth employment provision #YouthEmployment #Funding rocketsciencelab.co.uk/2022/02/ntca-y…

@Evaluationista @DinaRocketSci @CherriBlissett @JohnRocketSci @CiaraRocketSci @IreneKinroy @EmmaRocketSci @RocketScienceB @RMScothorne We missed you @Evaluationista though you were with us virtually. A great 2 days in York with some much needed face to face time, planning, learning and reflecting. Very proud to be a #RocketScientist and having some amazing colleagues with similar social values. Roll on 2022!

Serious #fomo @DinaRocketSci @CherriBlissett @JohnRocketSci @CiaraRocketSci @IreneKinroy @EmmaRocketSci @MichaelRocketSc @RocketScienceB @RMScothorne

Having avoided Covid for 2 years I have been felled and at a time when all my @_RocketScience_ colleagues are on their way to York to meet up in person for the first time in years. I will miss you guys but have fun at the we'll meet again lab.. we will meet again x🤧

@LondonFunders @TheBaobabUK @NPCthinks Totally right and an approach we take at @_RocketScience_ through our added value and approach including our work with the L&Q Foundation, the GLA and #VRUStrongerFuturesProgramme. We tested discussions to replace application forms and updates in place of monitoring forms

Hearing from the brilliant team @TheBaobabUK at @NPCthinks event about building trusting relationships with funders - Yoanna highlighting thinking about measuring impact (conversational, learning, accessible language, room for failure, not adding extra labour when gathering data)

@Evaluationista @NorthMidNHS Amazing Caroline and such a difficult and worry time for you all. Having a wonderful team supporting you all sometimes makes all the difference! X

After a near month of radiotherapy Dads final session today.. what a great #radiotherapy team and staff @NorthMidNHS helpful and lovely staff and so much support when dad fell over in the car park and no stress parking #thankyouNHS and to all carers you rock

@AnnaSmee1 @YF_Foundation Congratulations Anna. What a journey it has been and such an inspiration to where Youth Futures is now! Wishing you all the best. Michael

1/3 After an action packed time at @YF_Foundation I’m stepping away from grant making to return to delivery for children & young people. It’s been a privilege to lead YFF at such a critical time, when young people have been faced with so much uncertainty.

Thinking of a new role for 2022 come lead our work on #childrenandyoungpeople policy research and frontline experience get in touch to find out more.. #Jobs

Some great updates and analysis from @LisaHornung_ @_RocketScience_ mapping #Health and #Wellbeing needs across #Wakefield

@CoinStreet @Se1Stories @OxoTowerWharf Great to see @DavidLHopkins Close to our hearts with @_RocketScience_ London office being in New Bridge Street.
