Fantastic call with @PutneyFleur and team in this afternoon’s local surgery. Really engaged team both with the major issues of our time and local challenges for constituents. 🙏💪

[The Prince and Princess of Wales @KensingtonRoyal]

Understanding how the @BritishRedCross is providing vital humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict in the Middle East. Staff and volunteers continue to work day and night to bring life-saving assistance and medical treatment to those who need it most.

In every emergency, winter brings even more difficulties.

As temperatures continue to drop in Gaza, people lack blankets, warm clothes, access to food, clean drinking water, and proper sanitation. Over the last three months, civilians have borne the brunt of the hostilities.⬇

@BeeKemiA Just read the Wandsworth nighttime strategy 👍

@BeeKemiA Not sure. Just thought it was an interesting (if sad) reflection on the focus being on style over substance for something so important

[Adam Rowlands @CuriousRalph]

Really exciting opportunity to lead the Crisis Response team in the UK (and support emergencies overseas) - across our responses to fires, floods, terror attacks, power outages and so much more. Hugely impactful. Exciting times for the team too 😄: https://t.co/KxF91EfOqg

@neillyneil @grwwood @PJTWard - FYI - interesting lessons from your time at DfE

[Adam Rowlands @CuriousRalph]

@neillyneil @grwwood - the session you did for us on Design culture and modern orgs was really impactful

[Adam Rowlands @CuriousRalph]

Fantastic to see the bravery to trial new ways of working and having honest conversations about the need to listen to users and challenge assumptions!

Good to see that the new National Risk Register focuses more on the human consequences of risks. This creates fertile ground to work on preparedness and resilience for people beforehand. We look forward to taking this agenda forwards. @BritishRedCross @LisaJaneHollins @vcsep

[Adam Rowlands @CuriousRalph]

@HelenBevan Exactly. Invest in missionaries not mercenaries. Take the time to explain the why and vision…and ensure you have a meaningful one first that’s genuinely strategic not tactical

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

It's often lonely being a change agent. Communities of practice (CoPs) can give us a sense of belonging, support & courage. We don't need permission or formal power to create a CoP; just to connect with people who share our passion. Here's a straightforward guide to CoPs: https://t.co/wg54i4d8NH Via @Management30 @FerraroRoberto

@Skinner_M The Foundry in Vauxhall is a great space. Lots of small charities colocated. Great vibe and good range of rooms

"We already know what the politics of hate does, that's why we become refugees."

Narmada talks about what happens when a country rejects those who seek refuge - and shares a book she brought with her to the UK. Part of the wonderful #PeopleMove project by @dailymirror and @photographphilipcoburn

@ClaysLaura @HelenBevan @voinonen Yeah. Love it

[Adam Rowlands @CuriousRalph]

@SallyCopley @Sustrans @BritishRedCross Congrats! Huge welcome!

[Natalie Peck (PhD) @nataliepeck]

There'll be more opportunities coming up soon and please get in touch directly with any questions if you have them https://t.co/XFRklBPYtM

Great post by @pedrito1414 showing the value of data for humanitarian responses. Always impressed by @hotosm & proud of the considerable impact of the @BritishRedCross supporting @ifrc with GIS & IM data for preparedness & response https://t.co/w6oCPrEZ0z @MichaelAdamson5

[Adam Rowlands @CuriousRalph]

@MaryWoodgate @MichaelAdamson5 @RebeccaFirthy @ZahraS_B @Camilla_Drejer It definitely is! Can I trouble you for a share 😉?

[Adam Rowlands @CuriousRalph]

Unique & exciting opportunity to bring a strategy / consulting skillset & work on some of the most interesting challenges within one of the largest humanitarian organisations
