Make pancreatic cancer detection a UK health priority: Act Now - Sign the Petition! chng.it/gkJfcMKVQ4 via @UKChange Just signed this. Far too important to ignore, it's a horrible disease.

Without a doubt .....
The more connections we make across the generations, the more we understand, and the more we realise how many commonalities we share in life's stages and experiences. And the more we can be curious about and delight in the differences rather than judge them out of hand.

This is so neat. Based on our human preference for talking things through, especially when it's difficult, we feel unsure or can't see a way forward on something particular. An opportunity to share with someone who understands can be simply invaluable.
Thanks to specialist funder @CityBridgeFndn, we are running a pilot scheme to match chairs for co-mentoring. Find out more and sign up: associationofchairs.org.uk/c…

Everyone involved in the steady, hard, imaginative work that has led to this should be feeling proud of themselves, recognising that dreams can come true sometimes.
This was a really exciting day for me and my growing family to be watching on as our future neighbours' homes got craned into position. There have been many times when we had thought that it wasn't going to happen Delighted to report that it looks like it finally is 😆

It’s 27 years since I took up my first trustee role. I’ve met so many fabulous folk over the years and got to work with some incredible charities making a real difference to people’s lives. Being a trustee also helped me grow, learn and develop. 100% recommend it! #TrusteesWeek
What a fantastic start to #TrusteesWeek! It's great to see so many of you get involved 😍 Keep following all this week, as we continue to share the experiences of charity trustees.

This is hard stuff so there are challenging, but invaluable, questions in this brief survey. If you are a chair in a non profit organisation, AoC would appreciate you sharing your thoughts - and feelings.
We want to open up an honest conversation about equity, diversity + inclusion for charity boards - your challenges, your successes, the support you need. Your insights as a chair, trustee, or senior leader are crucial. Take our anonymous survey: buff.ly/3XvI6YQ

A profound treat, and so encouraging - probably my all time favourite garden, for many different reasons.
Just before we open up to the public, here is a quick run around the Front Terrace, the Long Pond and the Bamboo Garden, so you can see what progress we’ve made. Full video: youtu.be/9YvJ1DZsi2A?si=bUpB…

Proud to represent our 17,000 members today as @DCMS SoS @lisanandy speaks about her vision for the future. It's been energising to hear, once again, that charities will be a vital partner in @UKLabour's plan to build sustainable growth and a brighter future for every community.

This is so exciting and so straightforward - not to mention necessary
Don't miss out on your chance to join York's first housing co-op at Lowfield Green. We value friendship & supporting each other pooling resources, food & equipment living in a more sustainable way to reduce our carbon footprint lowfieldgreencoop.uk/

So exciting, and after so many years of complex effort
It felt quite surreal to see meaningful movement onsite this week. These are the actual trenches for the foundations of the @loficoho homes!! Updates to follow throughout Excited to document this leg of the journey.. #spadesintheground
