I'm thinking of all the amazing Charity Directors & their teams who're working hard in an incredibly complex changing environment. The Bromley Trust has signed this funder statement and will be exploring how we can best support our grantees and their valuable work going forwards.

To brighten up budget day, I am giving a set of these Fabulous Mr Benn badges away. To be in the bowler hat, all you have to do is retweet this tweet. I'll choose a winner this time next week. Good Luck!!

Well that was £39 that could’ve been better spent.

"We imprison women on minor charges to a far greater degree than men. Around 2/3 did not commit a violent crime. Yet they are sent into prisons that are desperate places." @ShabanaMahmood speaking today @UKLabour conference. Read more via @Independent bit.ly/3XAqrix

“An historic moment for women’s justice.” Read @PRTuk response to @ShabanaMahmood commitment to establish a women’s justice board tasked with reducing the number of women in prison prisonreformtrust.org.uk/prt-comment-ju…

🚨BREAKING Our new report #CoercionAndControl shows that women who have fled gender-based violence: ❌Are subjected to coercion & control in hotel accommodation ❌akin to patterns they have experienced in previous abusive relationships & situations refugeewomen.co.uk/coercion-and-c… 1/🧵

Donald Trump said he wants to punish women. And, as a result of his actions, today in America, one out of three women live in a state with a Trump Abortion Ban.

The events of the last week have been nothing short of deplorable. The far-right, racist & Islamophobic violence that we've seen on our streets and online has no place in our society. We stand in solidarity with the migrant & minoritised communities who have been targeted. 1/3

The Bromley Trust is really happy to be featured!

Our new report with @AnnaCLindley @SOAS reveals the barriers refugees face as they transition into the mainstream housing sector. The report draws on extensive casework experience & includes recommendations we hope will be of interest to policymakers. 👇 asylum-welcome.org/new-report/

Our new report today shows that people needing #councilfunerals are subject to a postcode lottery at end-of-life, in death and in #bereavement. Voluntary guidelines are not working in England and Wales and are non-existent in the rest of the UK. This cannot continue.

Worth considering that 40% of the average custodial sentence length (ACSL) in 2023 is still two weeks longer than 50% of the ACSL was in 2013.

All those miles and all that rain and we made it even more determined by the last step than the first. This is what hope - beautiful hope - looks like! Cherish it, clean your boots and we’ll keep walking.

Nigel Farage received 12% of TV/press coverage in the election. @TheGreenParty (with 4 seats to Reform’s 5) didn’t even make top 20. Great research from @lboroCRCC shows Greens & smaller parties were especially marginalised by a press mesmerised by Farage’s anti-migrant noise

We have a message as we welcome: - @ShabanaMahmood, Justice Secretary - @Heidi_Labour, Justice Minister - @wesstreeting, Health Secretary - @JamesTCobbler, Prisons, Parole and Probation Minister - @AnnelieseDodds @bphillipsonMP Women & Equalities Ministers

As well as these shocking conditions, HMIP found that around 60% of people detained were released without being deported. They say this “begs the question of why so much taxpayer money was being spent keeping them locked up in the first place”. 9/9 theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…
