Decent factual explanation. Like racial inequities, predates covid but made worse by it imperial.ac.uk/news/231119/li…

@GMCDP Thank you for your kind message. I’ll still be in GM anyway. Find me if you need me - brain picking always welcome and free of charge! All the very best to all of you and to the organisation, Alex

@AlexWhinnom @gmcvo All the best with whatever is next for you.

Pretty much on my way now. And sorry this can't be a fully physical event where everyone gets to eat cake.

We have just been informed that Afghan refugees will soon be housed in two hotels in Manchester. Our Manchester volunteers are gearing up to meet them but they need your support. Please support our fundraiser to buy the basic essentials they will need: bit.ly/afghanwelcome

@GmcvoDatabases Sort of. I think we’ll try to have a members meeting before Ian and I go, so we can say goodbye and formally introduce John and Gary as new leaders. Ofc you’d be most welcome, not seen you for ages!

@AlexWhinnom Is there a leaving event planned as the team would like to attend if so!

Wow! Big changes at GMCVO! Congratulations to @GMCVOJohn for his new role and thanks to @AlexWhinnom for everything he's done over the last 18 years! #nevermoreneeded #Community #SocialInvestment

@MaccManyeh @MikeWildMacc Oh well. Your intentions are now clear… Mike had better watch his back!

@Nickala5 All baby mammals are much the same so you will have lots of transferable skills. Only unique feature of kitties is their ability to climb legs and curtains with tiny sharp claws... enjoy!

So in a couple of days we bring this little beauty home! Any tips? A bit like before having children I'd never baby sat or changed a nappy... I'm guessing I'll pick it up as I go along? My son is already more knowledgeable than me in what to do 😆🤞

@what_claire_did @McrCommCentral @Val_BB @MikeWildMacc @GreaterSport good luck for the future Claire and thank you for all your great work - glad you will not be lost from GM!

@karlwilding @NCVO Karl, as you know I'm off too 30 Sept. In London to see family on Fri 10 Sept - not sure where you are??? but love to see you for coffee or stroll, compare bruises and predict the future? Personal phone 07789 865775

And that’s that! The end of a three-mug @ncvo stint. It’s been a real honour to serve, and a privilege to work alongside so many wonderful people in and around the voluntary sector. Bye for now.

@MikeWildMacc what's going on?

@GregBroadhurst Thank you for such a nice message Greg, and sorry for delayed reply - time's going fast. I've loved the job, and most of all the people I've been priviledged to work alongside - all the very best for the future

@AlexWhinnom @GMCVOJohn All the best Alex, and congrats on the years of superb service to Greater Manchester, and importantly, thankyou.

I'm very pleased and proud about this decision and @GMCVOJohn - and very sad to go after 18+ years. Huge thanks to everyone for your support during that time, I will meet or speak to as many as I can before I go in Sept

@deseonu Thank you very much for that lovely comment Dayo. I'm part way through your PhD, it's brilliant - will email soon. Board keen to recruit you btw, just getting their act together (hope you're still willing!)

@tmbc_chiefexec @GMCVOJohn Thank you Steven, and very sorry for delayed reply, it's all been a bit fast and overwhelming but def the right decisions all round. It's been a priviledge to work with you and I wish you and everyone all the very best with the challenges coming
