I’m so excited that my role at Google now includes leading a portfolio in #Googleorg with Google for Nonprofits. Before Google I had a long career in nonprofits in the US and UK, and so I feel privileged to be able to bring that experience to our work. See our latest efforts!

Every young person deserves access to safe spaces, trusted adults, and enriching activities. We welcome the Government’s commitment to a new youth strategy but urge clarity and support for youth sector funding, especially with the @NCS closure in 2025. The Government must protect vital services for young people. #BackYouth

[Natasha Porter OBE @NPorter_]

This is such a dreadfully sad time for @unlockedgrads. I am really hoping that the government can work with us to find a solution so we don't lose this incredible initiative from prisons across England and Wales.

I volunteered at the Floral Tribute at Green Park the last couple of days. Felt like the right way for me to honour the Queen’s life of service. HUGE crowds of people there to pay respects #QueenElizabethII @NCS

The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

Juneteenth is a time to commemorate the anniversary of the delayed news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas. Today, we remember that struggle for freedom as we reflect on how far we’ve come as a country—and on the work that remains undone.

TODAY: Reporter @craigtimberg shares how a private Israeli company licensed military-grade spyware to governments and police departments to track terrorists and criminals. But a recent leak of documents shows it was used to hack the phones of journalists, activists & others.
