Last week, three UK MPs – @TanDhesi, @wendychambLD & @KimJohnsonMP – visited Ghana with @invectorcontrol to see how UK-backed science, the @GlobalFund & Ghanaian leadership are working together to fight malaria. 🇬🇧🤝🇬🇭

🏛️ Former Defence Secretary Lord Browne points out UK government support for @gavi is a “pragmatic investment in our national security”.
💪 Crucial that the UK maintains historic support at next week’s replenishment.

Malaria fights hard. We fight harder. 👊 Together, we can save 13.2 million lives in the next 15 years with innovations like vaccines, gene-drive tech, & new mosquito nets. 💉🕸️ Let's do this. #ZeroMalaria

As #CHOGM2024 nears, leaders must address the urgent threat of malaria across the Commonwealth. Rising cases, fuelled by climate change, are holding back societies. With funding & new tools like vaccines, we can end malaria. Read more: bit.ly/409hcJ9

Great to swing by @ZeroMalariaGB’s stall in Hitchin yesterday to discuss the leading role UK science can play in helping to eliminate malaria across the world.

After 9 years, this week is my last @NCVO - I've had a great time and worked with (and continue to work with) lots of brilliant people (1/4)
Keep an eye out for a job ad - doing policy and public affairs @NCVO has given me the chance to work on lots of different things, and with loads of amazing charities - as well as write some very niche political blogs (3/4)
I'm very excited to be joining @malarianomoreuk next week, and looking forward to getting stuck into election work and post-election planning (4/4)

Our Executive Director, @SaskiaAlice , is sharing 5 top tips to help you feel confident for the weeks ahead and the upcoming general election on 4 July. For more info, check out our practical guidance and support: ncvo.org.uk/help-and-guidanc…
Some initial thoughts from me on what charities need to be thinking about now we have an election date.
As the Prime Minister has called a #GeneralElection for 4 July, charities will now be bringing forward their election plans and thinking about their activity over the next seven weeks.
Here, @_c_walker shares some key things you can do 👇 ncvo.org.uk/news-and-insight…
Lots of challenges for campaigners at the moment, but striking that 78% are reporting campaign wins/milestones over the past 12 months. A very strong case for organisations to support and invest in their campaigns teams.
📊Campaigners are facing pressure from all sides - politicians, media, donors, regulators, and their own organisations.
