If you are looking to support those affected by the knife attack in #Southport on 29th July, the most effective way you can help is to give money to support the local relief effort: buff.ly/3SwuD17 [🧵]

Heartbroken for the victims and families impacted by today’s tragic attack. This will leave an indelible mark on the community of Southport. @vcsep will do all we can to connect the immediate and longer term support to the young people and communities impacted. @SeftonCVS

Today’s events remind me of the importance of learning from previous tragedies and the long term impact they have if young people aren’t supported to recover… thanks to @NatEmergTrust and their network for this vital research we must all learn from….
Bee The Difference@BeeTheDiff_

Yesterday, we shared our #BeeTheDifference report. A third of young survivors, just like us, received no professional support. We are calling for this to change. Read our report here nationalemergenciestrust.org.uk/beethedifferen…

Obligatory personal news post! 🚨 From Christmas, I’ll be taking a sabbatical from @ncvo to go travelling with @XavierSalazarP. I’ll be back in mid-May! We’ll be heading off to South America, with a one-way ticket, a backpack, & a sense of adventure ✈️

In light of the devastating earthquake and going from public response to previous emergencies, we urge our partners to think carefully about messaging around donated goods, which we know are already starting to accumulate. 1/2

@JaneIdeCEO @NicoleSykes_ That’s so funny, I too, randomly one weekend, aged 10ish, got a book out the kids library and taught myself. Can still remember it to this day. Here’s to rainy Sundays!

I'm showing an Italian friend around London tomorrow evening. Where would you go for food near Leicester Square. I asked him what he likes for food and he said 'Italian' but I'm too embarrassed to take him for Italian food here :)

“The third sector is proving to be more creative and innovative than at any time in its venerable history” - good article in @NewStatesman that champions the outstanding work of local and national charities stepping up. Again. @vcsep @FareShareUK @felixprojectuk 🙌
Gordon Brown@GordonBrown

The innovation from the charity sector is astonishing (see my article). Just as we thanked the NHS and care workers in the pandemic, we should pay tribute to the 1000s of local heroes coming to the aid of millions of fellow citizens now. newstatesman.com/politics/uk-po…
