@OutsmartedPlay What a complete waste of £35 on a game we can’t actually play when we want to!

And my afternoon was spent attending the official opening of the reimagined @wbaybiglocal’s hub, which @Coop_Foundation has had the privilege of supporting via unrestricted funding. Doesn’t the space look amazing? @LocalTrust

[Louise Snelders @LoobySnelders]

Yesterday was quite the day for championing unrestricted funding! It started with speaking about @Coop_Foundation’s commitment in this area at a @gmcvo event, alongside the fabulous @IVAR_UK, @woodcraftfolk and @EuropiaMcr

[Louise Snelders @LoobySnelders]

@gmcvo @IVAR_UK @Coop_Foundation @EuropiaMcr Debs McCahon from @woodcraftfolk who have been a fantastic partner of ours, gave a plea for funders to offer longer term funding, time spent redoing budgets could be better used! Totally agree, which is why our new strategic funds can offer up to 5 year funding @Coop_Foundation

[Louise Snelders @LoobySnelders]

@gmcvo @IVAR_UK @Coop_Foundation And from Kush Chottera from @EuropiaMcr about just how many times you have to answer the same mundane questions when applying for funding 😞. We funders must do better to improve this 🙌 @Coop_Foundation

[Co-op Foundation @Coop_Foundation]

Delighted to attend an enlightening session on youth-led grant making last night, hearing about Global Fund for Children’s Spark Fund experiences. GFC (and @RestlessDev) are new delivery partners on a exciting new fund for @Coop_Foundation with @coopuk and the #iwillfund 🙌

[Louise Snelders @LoobySnelders]

@Paddywivell @Channel4 @MattJClayton @Child_Cov @coventryDCS Watched 1 episode and here I am still in front of the TV 3 hours later! A compelling binge watch. Real, gently handled and insightful - Paddy you are a phenomenal documentary maker! Some tough journeys for the yp, hopeful that all can continue to thrive 🙌
