Strategy planning lead for Disasters & Emergencies and Green strategy at the British Red Cross. Many opinions, all of them my own.

Today we celebrate the birth of our beloved @IFRC which was founded in 1919 in Paris in the aftermath of World War I.

After more than 100 years, we have more national societies & we continue working together in 192 countries, saving lives, giving hope, protecting human dignity.

@MichaelAdamson5 @alisapower @BritishRedCross There was an excellent conversation this week on https://t.co/tSLTBGAoZ3 in this area. How to be good-ish. To make mistakes and learn.

A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake has struck southern provinces of Türkiye.

The Turkish @RedCrescent teams have mobilised across the country to deliver much-needed assistance.

@emiliegoller @ifrc @RedCrossRomania @IFRC_Europe Best of luck Emilie! You will knock it out the park I've no doubt.

So exciting to be building our team. Such a fabulous time to be joining a small but influential organisation which is going places! Please share.

@glasgow_kat A colleague and I used to meet and call it the G52... for fun as our first meeting was at the same time as one of the G7s and that was my postcode. The name stuck though!

A charette? I've no idea what that is. Must have one!

[L Dalton-Hopwood @LindsayDH]

@glasgow_kat Yup, that's looking like a good list to try this year!

[L Dalton-Hopwood @LindsayDH]

@RPitbladdoBRC Oh that's put a smile on my face today!

[Katherine Jones @glasgow_kat]

Come and work with us at @APRScotland! We're looking for a #socialmedia and events officer working with a lovely team and with opportunity to make a real difference #Recruiting (for a start there's a lot of potential to make a difference to the website!)

[L Dalton-Hopwood @LindsayDH]

@glasgow_kat @APRScotland @JohnMayhew1959 Well done both of you!

@alison_phipps And there was cake, laughter, and the sun shone.

Much more must be done to scale response in Somalia. @jagan_chapagain @MMukhier @MichaelAdamson5

@JaneyGodley You look fabulous. Hope the scan goes well.

[Zoe Abrams @zabrams]

Incredible job alert: we're looking for a new Director of Strategy @BritishRedCross to help us navigate the ever-changing environment we operate within & support us to plan for the future as we deliver for people in crisis. Amazing strategists apply here: https://t.co/5fJ8xYKWGu

@CuriousRalph @LisaJaneHollins @HilaryCottam I did Otto Scharmer's u.lab course a few years ago. It's very interesting. I think ICRC's digital team had a version of it run specifically for them.

[Piwi Ophoff @PiwiOphoff]

I was given another opportunity to highlight the challenges in Pakistan floods and response of the @PRC_official and @IFRCAsiaPacific. This disaster will stay with us for a long time to come. @ifrc has just launched a 25 mil CHF emergency appeal to assist 324,000 people.

[ICRC @ICRC]

Neutrality allows for breakthrough humanitarian work. But how?

We know it's not always obvious or easy to understand. So we asked @RMardiniICRC to explain.

‘Soon it will be unrecognisable’: total climate meltdown cannot be stopped, says expert. The climate emergency is here. The Red Cross Movement calls for cuts in omissions and scaling adaptation with at risk communities. ⁦@mkvaalst⁩ ⁦ https://t.co/1tDa1PTtpK

@WallyFunksSpace @blueorigin @JeffBezos Having loved the book and documentary, I am delighted for Wally. @JeffBezos did a great thing to put things right; but isn't it time we did something for this planet? Come talk to the Red Cross about how we are reducing our climate impact while helping those already impacted.
