Provide flexible funding for all crisis ( not just the high profile crisis) especially to local organisations/resonders #pledge4change

[Grand Bargain @GrandBargain_]

Concrete evidence provided by @humentum_org to achieve equitable & accountable partnerships - in the spirit of #GrandBargain - funders should:
🔷commit to consistently covering a full & fair share of administration costs
🔷directly fund grantees & provide unrestricted funding

Privileged to have represented @VSO_Intl at the service of thanksgiving today for HRH Prince Philip who was a supporter of our work and active citizenship more widely, great to hear from @DoyinSonibare #youth #inspiring #legacies #volunteering

Today at Westminster Abbey, guests will gather to celebrate the life of The Duke of Edinburgh.

The Service will give thanks for HRH’s dedication to family, Nation and Commonwealth and recognise the importance of his legacy.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Migration is a fact of life, a defining feature of humanity – and above all a positive phenomenon, enriching societies & economies.

Whether their movement is voluntary or forced, formally authorized or not – all human beings must have their rights respected & dignity upheld.

[Philip Goodwin @PhilipUNICEF_UK]

Saddened to hear the tragic news about Sir David Amess MP. As well as being a committed Parliamentarian, David spent time volunteering with @VSO_Intl in the Philippines, helping nurses advocate for better pay & conditions. Our thoughts & sympathies go out to his family today.

[UK in Nepal 🇬🇧🇳🇵 @UKinNepal]

A family centric approach to addressing harmful social norms engages the entire family to discuss how such norms can disempower women & girls.
