We need to deal with struggling local economies and regional inequality by focusing on the main issues- investment and £ return patterns that place shareholder return above local multipliers. We create hope, opportunity and thriving places by focussing on economics not ASB.
We can’t regenerate town centres + grow local economies when antisocial behaviour goes unchecked.
We can’t give young people choices + chances when drug dealers trap them in county lines.
We can’t level up without tackling crime.

Good evaluation should be communicated well to others. 🗣️📰📸
This month, we will be sharing advice and examples of how to communicate your self-evaluation to staff, service-users, intermediaries, funders and policy makers.

We are the 6th largest economy, there is enough money to feed everyone
Resist normalising foodbanks at all costs - they do NOT need to be a permanent part of our social infrastructure
Dear @waitrose , please have a word with your in-house marketing team. Describing a product as “Perfect for the food bank” is at best tone deaf to the realities of people having to access food aid. Normalising this helps no one.

Policy that deals with the symptoms of an wealth extracting economy, social hardship or environmental crisis are all very well, but we need to look at the causes. By addressing ownership of wealth and wealth flows that is what #communitywealthbuilding does.

🚨 NEW: Oil giant Shell has just recorded £32,200,000,000 in profit – the highest in 115 years.
Will we see its corporate executives named and shamed for being “greedy”?
Or does that only apply to teachers and nurses fighting for fair pay?

Shell profits more than doubled to £32.2bn.
Cost of producing oil/gas hasn't changed much, selling price has.
Corporate profiteering has hiked energy bills, inflation and misery
UK Govt response - cut real wages; no curbs on profiteering.

It’s hard to believe that three years ago few people had heard of Covid, and fewer still thought it would disrupt life as we knew it for the following eighteen months, and millions would die, many in the UK. Now we are in denial again, which is just as dangerous. A thead….

Word of the day is ‘malverse’ (17th century): to act corruptly in a position of trust.

Not a new finding - feeling close to others helps feel happier - but the discussion is new. How does a country, including its politics, government & civic society, need to change to better prioritise relationships, friendships and family?

A nation that cannot look after and protect ALL the children in it, whether born or trafficked here, has no meaningful future
The national soul-searching required by revelations of recent days is deafeningly, terrifyingly, absent
