Members, your Christmas parcels should be well on their way to you by now! On Monday we posted over 3,000 parcels to show you that we're thinking of you. Thank you to all our volunteer elves who made this possible.

A curious presentation about the @BTBusiness-managed Scottish Wide Area Network. It transpires that, at any moment, 35 million Mb of data travel through the @bt_uk network every second 🤯 #DigitalScotland2023 #DS23 @Futurescot_News

My article has been published in @ThirdForceNews ! I am thankful for this opportunity to contribute to the discussion on the vital role of storytelling in the Edinburgh Voluntary Sector. It is time for charities to embrace the power of their stories... tfn.scot/opinion/amplifying-…

Btw the friendly lad behind me there had an incredible and loud, booming voice. At one point someone handed him the megaphone and it somehow made him quieter 😂

This is such an important campaign. We all thrive when we have the support of caring & inclusive communities. This is especially true for care experienced people as we know the impact of care doesn’t have an arbitrary age limit. Please support our campaign & join us today ♥️
Our members tell us that care experience can be lifelong. Today we're launching our Lifelong Rights Campaign, calling for greater rights protections and support through independent advocacy regardless of age. Find out more and show your support here: whocaresscotland.org/lifelon…
