At @WmGrantFound we're working on sharing what we're doing and learning more openly and in real time. Here's a short post about what I got up to one day last week: https://t.co/vVy6N2umb4

[Rowan Boase @RowanBoase]

Pregnancy and infancy is such an important - & challenging - time and some families face extra challenges and disadvantages.

How can we as an independent funder play a role in helping a child have the best start in life? We’re still learning! A blog on our thinking so far:

[William Grant Foundation @WmGrantFound]

Under our Health & Social Causes theme, we're interested in helping babies get the best start in life. In this blog, Partnerships & Learning Manager @RowanBoase explains our focus on "holistic support" for families during pregnancy and early childhood. https://t.co/2UVylcJTnP

We're recruiting for:
- mat cover for my post when I head off mid-August (could be a secondment)
- a new role to help make sure we're making best use of knowledge and insights

WGF is a great place to work and both roles are super interesting, I think! Any qs, do get in touch.

Incredible cuteness and incredible human brains being developed- a heart-warming and fascinating thread on why interactions in our earliest days matter ❤️ 👶
