Delighted to announce the launch of the 'UK Catalytic Capital' report which is the first in-depth study into the role of catalytic capital within the social investment market and has been funded by @BigSocietyCap & @si_access and authored by the Change Coeffcieient (1/ )


Hats off to @TUIUK for an epic meltdown today. Meant to be leaving Corfu at 2pm today and now being told the plane is estimated to leave here for London at 11:25pm. Looking forward to landing at Stansted and potentially having the trains not run causing more delays and costs.


Woke up as a very proud Walthamstow-er this morning. Great to have seen so many faces from different backgrounds and ages show up yesterday to say no to racism and bigotry.

Just wanted to share quickly how lovely yesterday felt in Southport; a total contrast to the night before. 🧵 The mosque and people’s garden walls were rebuilt by builders and bricklayers volunteering their time and labour:

now *this* makes you proud to be British

This is how Southport responded. A group of around 100 members of the community are repairing damage to the local mosque, seen here rebuilding a wall. St Luke’s Road, last night strewn with rubble and debris, has already been cleared.

Great to see the mention of how the Govt can use social investment to innovate & work with frontline organisations in partnership with local stakeholders through the use of outcomes financing designed to tackle social issues faced by communities. @BigSocietyCap @BridgesOutcomes

Funding for projects is available now. To promote novel ideas we welcome bids from departments using innovative financing models such as Social Outcome Partnerships, which create partnerships between the public, private & voluntary sector to tackle societal challenges. 2/2



Last night at @allpointseastuk the heavens opened up and chucked it down 1 second into @stormzy singing ‘Blinded By Your Grace’ and it was glorious. Couldn’t have asked for a better scene to end the night with


This needs to be shouted from the rooftops as the economic falsities that are spread about public sector wage increases = high increase in inflationary pressure are too prevalent and absolutely false

📢 | NEW REPORT: Contrary to claims made by the government and others, a real-terms pay rise for public sector workers would not meaningfully increase inflation, shows our new analysis. ippr.org/research/publi…



Bold and brave move here by @LankellyChase to look at its wealth and question the approach around what 'stewardship' means in a changing world. Will be fascinating to see how this will impact the wider philanthropy world and the role of endowments held by trusts & foundations

Lankelly Chase is embarking on a transformative journey to wholly redistribute its assets over the next five years and dismantle itself as an organisation. bit.ly/3pEOQ9I #LCTransitionPathway
