10 yrs after documenting the transformation of Dalmarnock in Glasgow's East End for the Commonwealth Games, @clesliephoto revisited the community to explore local people's views of the Games' legacy. See the exhibition at Strange Field, until 28 July. strangefield.org/event-detai…
At @WmGrantFound we're working on sharing what we're doing and learning more openly and in real time. Here's a short post about what I got up to one day last week: shorturl.at/wklg3

Pregnancy and infancy is such an important - & challenging - time and some families face extra challenges and disadvantages.
How can we as an independent funder play a role in helping a child have the best start in life? We’re still learning! A blog on our thinking so far:
Under our Health & Social Causes theme, we're interested in helping babies get the best start in life. In this blog, Partnerships & Learning Manager @RowanBoase explains our focus on "holistic support" for families during pregnancy and early childhood. williamgrantfoundation.org.u…
We're recruiting for:
- mat cover for my post when I head off mid-August (could be a secondment)
- a new role to help make sure we're making best use of knowledge and insights
WGF is a great place to work and both roles are super interesting, I think! Any qs, do get in touch.
We're hiring!
💡Knowledge and Insights Manager
🤝Partnerships and Learning Manager (maternity cover)
Deadline for applications is 11 June.

Please retweet and share with anyone you think might be interested.

Spooky stuff going down in the Gorbals 👻 Happy Halloween from the ever-awesome G5 kids choir @GivinitLaldie youtube.com/watch?v=2P1kfnn9…
Incredible cuteness and incredible human brains being developed- a heart-warming and fascinating thread on why interactions in our earliest days matter ❤️ 👶
Ok. When all the grown-up stuff begins to seem dark & incomprehensible, let’s turn to the babies for some sanity & joy. Here’s a Baby THREAD for you all.

I wrote a blog on the recruitment challenges the third sector is experiencing, as part of @ThirdSectorLab's brilliant Open Working and Re-use course.
I can't call it a weeknote cos it took me a fortnight, but slowly getting to grips with working more in the open!
Why is recruitment so hard right now? William Grant Foundation's @RowanBoase muses on a key challenge for many third sector orgs. What could funders be doing to help? Thoughts welcome. medium.com/open-working-reus…
Interesting to see this reporting about how extreme heat unequally affects those living in poorer housing, with less access to green space, and those with long term conditions - including in Glasgow: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62126463
Head buzzing after a v stimulating morning tuning into #NewFrontiers conference. Thinking about what our role(s) are and could be in each of the 3 horizons. Will try to write something about it for the Open Working and Reuse programme weeknotes, in the spirit of active learning!
For more information about today’s programme visit our Notion site, which contains deep dives into each panel session, including further reading and provocations.
