Incredibly moving to hear from Holocaust survivor Paul Sved BEM ahead of #HolocaustMemorialDay
I also signed @HolocaustUK's book of commitment on behalf of my constituents.
This year marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We must never forget

Ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day, we were honoured to hear from Paul Sved BEM. His powerful testimony of his survival during the occupation of Hungary served as a reminder that "war solves nothing, peace solves everything." Thank you @HolocaustUK for such an important event

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay.
At a Senedd event, it was so moving to hear a child’s experience of the horrors of the Holocaust told by survivor Paul Sved, who was a small boy in Hungary during WWII.
We must all fight against hate, prejudice and injustice, in all its forms.

'The first English person I saw was a woman smiling at me and saying, "tea or coffee love?"'
Paul Sved tells @simonvigar5 his incredible story of how he and his mother survived the Holocaust, as today marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

Absolute pleasure to be representing @UKNatArcSector at a £6 million funding partnership launch for Archives Revealed. With thanks to @HeritageFundUK @ThePilgrimTrust @wolfsonfdn @UkNatArchives this will be rolled out over 3 years. Special thanks to @BishopsgateInst for hosting.

I live in the city of #stalbans in #hertfordshire . We're incredibly proud of what Phoebe Gill has already achieved and will watch her pressure free Olympics with pride. @stalbansac @StAlbanStriders @stalbansparkrun @StAlbansCouncil
Why Phoebe Gill’s Olympic qualification shouldn’t be a shock to anybody.
She clocked 1:58.66 to become UK 800m champion in Manchester.
The 17-year-old's progression in athletics over the past few years has been impossible to ignore.

A lot of the misconceptions about cultural fundraising stem from the fact in previous decades it was a fair bit easier to do*. For example, within the careers of most commentators large sums of £££ could be raised relatively quickly, particularly from corporates (1/x)
*for some!
I'm back at the @CIOFSupporterXP #SupporterExperience conference for a session on designing digital donor experiences, with Athar Abibi @TheBHF, @RobAlcroft Nana Crawford @BritishRedCross, Gavin McDonald, Vicky Urquhart @MindCharity.

"We can now have face to face interaction with anyone. This will take us forward to a new type of community fundraising. The key to digital has been the scale. There's no capacity limitation. How do you make in person & digital gel together? It's still cause led."
Vicky Urquhart
Always good to start a session by talking about the weather - it's certainly a good metaphor for how quickly things are changing right now!
I'm at the @CIOFtweets @CIOFSupporterXP conference for the keynote panel: The role of #SupporterExperience on the road to recovery
