@LNER Thanks. We were on the 17.48 London Kings X to Leeds service.

[Alasdair Rutherford @AltEcon]

@LNER the train manager on our train to Leeds has just told us that “it’s not the job of train staff to provide wheelchair assistance”. Can I check that’s right? (I don’t think it’s what your policy says)

[Eddy Hogg @BeardyEddy]

The paperback of @JonDeanStuff and I's book on approaches to researching voluntary action is out in March.

It is available to pre-order & is currently the frankly bargain price of £14.99 in the @policypress sale.

Spoil yourself, you deserve it.

Sign up free here: https://t.co/f4co6tKx6r

[Alasdair Rutherford @AltEcon]

⚠️Spoilers⚠️ Many Scottish charities had low reserves or high income concentration going in to Covid, but despite seeing a big dip in income during the pandemic we are yet to see significant numbers of charities de-registering.

[Mobilising UK Voluntary Action during COVID-19 @MVAin4]

Our fourth working paper produced by @AltEcon and @socstats_rs is now available.

The paper examines data from two UK volunteer-matching systems to explore the scale, timing and characteristics of volunteering during the pandemic.
