@SaskiaAlice Yeah, it must.

“Each individual is more than a statistic.”

I remember looking at the 2021 suicide statistics when they were released - headline grabbing for being too high.

One of those numbers was my brother. So much more than a statistic 💔

[Saskia Konynenburg @SaskiaAlice]

It was fantastic to stand alongside the Civil Society Minster today to reinforce the commitment from @NCVO to the covenant so together we can create the environment for a strong, productive and respectful relationship between government and charities.

Thank you @Steph_Peacock

In less than 24 hours, we’ve rallied over 1400 signatures (and counting) to our letter to the Chancellor, secured mass media coverage, trended on socials, and got an urgent meeting in the diary with the Secretary of State.

Team @NCVO @ACEVO
have smashed it out the park! 👏👏👏

[Saskia Konynenburg @SaskiaAlice]

Here’s my round-up of the #Budget2024 and what it means for charities.

@NCVO is hearing from so many members about the devastating impact the rise in NI could have on already stretched budgets. Please get in touch if you want to share thoughts.

We’re excited to annouce that we're working with @DCMS and @ACEVO to develop the Civil Society Covenant - a framework that aims to reset how government engages with civil society, creating lasting positive change for the sector.

I’m honoured to be at the launch of the #CivilSocietyCovenant today. Brilliant discussions led by @lisanandy in the Ministerial Roundtable, and now joining a Parliamentary Reception with @Keir_Starmer to reaffirm government’s commitment to working closely with the sector.

@LBFEW @matthyde @TrussellUK @sarahvibert82 @RefugeCharity @ProBonoEcon @NicoleSykes_ @awf_liverpool What are the opportunities of a new Labour government?

“It’s clear we need to reset the relationship with government. We heard warm words before the election - but there seems to be a real desire right from the heart of government to work with the sector.” - @sarahvibert82

@LBFEW @matthyde @TrussellUK @sarahvibert82 @RefugeCharity @ProBonoEcon @NicoleSykes_ @awf_liverpool “What we need if we’re going to make any difference to stop violence against its women and girls, is a strategy that goes across all departments. And it needs funding.” Abigail Ampofo @RefugeCharity

[NCVO @NCVO]

@LBFEW @matthyde @TrussellUK @sarahvibert82 @RefugeCharity @ProBonoEcon @NicoleSykes_ @awf_liverpool “We’re an anti racism charity. For us the last two months have been horrific.

“Our support referrals went up 300% but our funding didn’t. All the big hospitals asked us to support their staff, but there was no money for it.” - Kaushik Mistry @awf_liverpool

[NCVO @NCVO]

@LBFEW @matthyde @TrussellUK @sarahvibert82 @RefugeCharity @ProBonoEcon @NicoleSykes_ @awf_liverpool “Root causes is key. From the white supremacists who rioted and those that joined in, to those who decide funding. Conscious decisions are made.

“It’s a popular saying there is no money, but there is. The whole process from tender to delivery needs review.” Kaushik Mistry AWF

[NCVO @NCVO]

@LBFEW @matthyde @TrussellUK @sarahvibert82 @RefugeCharity @ProBonoEcon @NicoleSykes_ @awf_liverpool “Austerity has completed changed our sector. We need to urgently address this with government.

“Organisations will close, we hear that on our helpdesk all the time. And each organisation that closes, impacts communities.” - @sarahvibert82 NCVO

@nusuk @sarahvibert82 @homestartuk @TheBigHelpOut24 @matthyde @LBFEW “Until we have equity and people have status, it won’t work. We look at initiatives and everyone on the decision board is white. We need to look through new lenses.” Kaushik Mistry

Join us today at 3pm!

Charities are essential for delivering labours missions, and supporting preventative work.

Kicking off my birthday at the #LabourConference24 with a session on philanthropy 🥳

@Demos @NPCthinks @Caf @emily4MK

[Saskia Konynenburg @SaskiaAlice]

This is a really important conversation #LabourConference2024

How can we move from the rigid way public services are commissioned to focus on outcomes? How can businesses and charities deliver together?

I recently found the last photo taken of me and my brother Fred before he died. Sharing today, on World Suicide Prevention Day.

And for anyone feeling low or not knowing where to turn, I will always listen, and there is always another way ❤️ #WSPD2024 #suicideprevention

[Saskia Konynenburg @SaskiaAlice]

@CharityComms Today is World Suicide Prevention Day - the topic this year is really important for communicators - “Changing the narrative on suicide”. It encourages everyone to start the conversation on suicide prevention, moving from silence and stigma to openness, understanding, and support.
