Such a privilege to work with Julie and others in this process with @GRIPPUK. We've been building this since 2020 through so many unknowns. Holding an authentic relational participatory approach takes time and effort - but hey, with impact like this, it's truly worth it.

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

This is better than any speech from a politician we’ve heard recently 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

If Labour's priority was protecting children they'd be scrapping the two child benefit cap, not banning medication for trans kids.

📈 How UK rents got SO DAMN HIGH: explained in under 60 seconds.

⚖️ Rip-off rents are a result of political choices made 45 years ago and upheld by every government since.

It's not too late to undo this damage and bring rents down. But we must get organised.

It's taken a week of my GRIPP time to hold this one meeting. But it was a bloody good meeting, twice! Power was with the right people to make some good decisions, deliberate and question. But really, it takes a lot of time to get participation right.

Thanks to @CivicPowerFund

[GRIPP - @grippuk.bsky.social @GRIPPUK]

Real participation isn't quick. It takes time, real time, lot of time. We had our Partnership meeting this week - twice. 1 evening 1 daytime slot so as many members as possible can be part of decision-making. It's time-consuming but its right. Funders need to fund accordingly

[ManyikeniLearning @ManyikeniL]

I'm walking 150km in 31 days to mark the 76th anniversary of the #Nakba to raise funds for @MedicalAidPal.

Today 6km among these ancient oak trees - similar age to the olive trees torn from the ground and communities in Palestine then and now.

🚨BREAKING: AirTanker haven't ruled themselves out of this government's cruel Rwanda scheme ... so we've made them a new ad.

@AirTanker, you've still got time to do the right thing.

Hey @jet2tweets! It looks like you rent planes from @AirTanker - who could be running forced flights in the government's cruel cash-for-human Rwanda scheme.

Do the right thing and tell AirTanker to stand on the right side of history.

I loved this moment on a residential last year - shouting and objecting about the ways our organisations often perpetuate the systems we wish to change. Maybe @GRIPP can build it differently...we're sure as hell trying!!

[GRIPP - @grippuk.bsky.social @GRIPPUK]

The good folk @RadHRorg asked GRIPP to write about some of our internal development work.

So here is a blog about shouting and objecting✊
