The fight over definitions will rage eternally I’m sure 😂 We take a particular approach to outputs, outcomes & impact in the #socialvalue universe that aligns with our principles 👇 For us outcomes are changes in wellbeing eg. reduced anxiety or improved confidence…

Well I’m somehow on a train. Neither cancelled nor delayed. Now the exciting roulette around whether my connection from Wigan to Liverpool also runs 🙄 If the gods smile I’m off to see the team @socialvalueuk 🤞😊

My timeline. Corruption (that you can barely call corruption as it’s laid bare for us all to see.) Zero accountability. Zero consequences. No interest from vast swathes of the population. Grim… 😒

Blinking my way back onto social media after a rather lovely break from it. Thinking about Social Value in 2023...and I should say something profound shouldn't I? The best I can manage is that I'm back, last year’s wounds have been treated and I’m ready for battle again 😂 💪

Well lovely people I am celebrating the start of advent by stepping off social media. I’ll be back in the New Year. I’ll be working up to Christmas so you can reach me ‘old school’ via email etc. Time for some focussed work & long walks in the wilderness…wishing you all peace 🕊️

So much talent, energy and commitment in this room…and wonderful to meet so many colleagues in person to share solidarity & energy. On a personal level I’m particularly chuffed to share space with some brilliant women @InclusionNW @sarahlonglands @FireworksFranky @HannanRuth

…and we’re underway #ThisIsTheNorth 💪 @PeoplesPowerhse

Delighted the trains allowed me to join the team @PeoplesPowerhse today for #ThisIsTheNorth 🥳 I’ll be wandering around asking people to name the change we want to see! Talk to me - I won’t bite - honest 😊🐺 #impact

So struck today to hear references to community wealth building, social value, future generations, sustainability, environmental frameworks and a plurality of approaches & methodologies. We do NOT have to lose that plurality to collaborate. We MUST collectivise #WellbeingEconomy

Jimmy Paul opening the day beautifully and @KTrebeck sharing those fundamental questions we ask @socialvalueuk every day. In our societies and our economies who is winning? Who is losing? Where is the necessary primacy of the wellbeing of people & planet…? #WellbeingEconomy
