Hello! I will be chatting with @BBCRadioScot drivetime about 5.40 regarding the report below.

Surely there has to be a better way of funding small charities? Our income is around £350k a yr & we have 35 different funders, all asking us to report back individually. @IVAR_UK @NPCthinks @DSC_Charity @SocialChangeAg @naomi_southwell - Can you help change the system?! 1/5 🧵 – at Yorkshire and The Humber, England

40 MPs are demanding that charities who have spoken out against the government are defunded. This goes far beyond the usual (and frustrating) criticism of charity campaigning & represents a much more significant threat to charities and democracy. thirdsector.co.uk/mps-demand…
MPs demand end to government funding of charities ‘causing division and toxicity’

That's why @scvotweet is calling time on the spin and the need for Government - and all funders - to step up for a fair-funding deal scvo.scot/p/55084/2022/11/02…

In 2007, when Gordon Brown replaced Tony Blair, the Conservatives called for a snap general election. Boris Johnson wrote a piece in the Telegraph describing the change as a "palace coup" and a "North Korean" move that "trampled on the democratic will of the British people."

Families on low-incomes in London, the North of England and Scotland are bearing the worst of the cost-of-living crisis. Here's how and why 🧵🗺️⬇️

Warm banks are not the answer. Working with community we devised the attached leaflet focussing on how to get £ & advice & places with activities that are already available in Kinross-shire. We don't want anyone to have to access a space rather than have a warm home.

The cost of living crisis is hugely worrying - with last week's mini-budget impacting UK households even more. Households that were already at breaking point. What actions are you, as charities, taking to support your beneficiaries? Here's what some of our clients are doing 🧵
