Had an amazing week at @backuptrust multi activity course in the Lake District (part of my induction). Learnt so much, met some fantastic people and even got to participate in abseiling & canoeing! Very rewarding to see participants get so much out of the course.

And for those feeling as weary and frankly bored as I am by the constant need to defend the right of charities to campaign, let’s instead remind ourselves of how much we collectively achieve through campaigning. https://t.co/qQHtJw2Sfr
