G8 to speak at this today and spread the Local Area Coordination magic "Its all about people & relationships...everything works better when relationships work well....Strong not whats wrong" @LacnNick @Rships_Project
The strength-based approach of LAC has “inverted a narrow focus on finance to one of abundance”. Thank you @joemicheli94 & @jennieLACYork from @CityofYork for sharing your experiences of such success.

Truss claims she believes that the British public "know best how to spend your own money, to get on in life, and to realise your ambitions"... sounds good, how about devolving power & funding to communities then? #ConservativePartyConference #CommunityPower

"In genuine partnership with community orgs and local people, policymakers could boost wellbeing and resilience, enable the development of prevention-focused public services ... save substantial sums which are currently spent in ways which don’t factor in local needs and assets"

Well worth a read. Highlights that effective/widespread mobilisation needs organisation. Question it prompts for me is that lessons/recommendations have been made in nearly every report I’ve read about voluntary action - but does policy and practice change? #volunteering

Taiwan has under 1,000 deaths from #covid in a country of 23 million people, says @audreyt. Astonishing to a British audience where our official death toll stands at 165,000 people. A more effective response with public participation & trust was always possible #StrongerThings

After catalysing the #OperationWiFi campaign in March 2020 we are delighted by news today from @VMO2News to create the UK’s first #NationalDatabank. This is a significant step forward in working towards ending #DataPoverty – at South West, England
‼️ 7 mil people in the UK have no mobile or broadband connectivity at home.
We’ve launched a National Databank providing FREE mobile data to tackle data poverty with @goodthingsfdn
We’re calling for all mobile operators to join us & offer free data to those who need it most.

15 months ago we started the #OperationWiFi campaign in response to what we were hearing about the impact of #datapoverty during the pandemic
Since then we've built an alliance of 100+ organisations committed to tackling the issue.
