#RightNow, charities are doing everything they can to make a difference, but resources are running out and people and causes are suffering. We need government to create an Emergency Support Fund. Sign our letter to the PM here https://t.co/T7GKiuMH51 #NeverMoreNeeded

@lynda_thomas @macmillancancer Wishing you and everybody at Macmillan the best in these difficult times.

If the #BeirutExplosion happened in London…

Zone 1 would be destroyed. Widespread destruction 2.5km away. Damaged buildings 7.5km away. Further out, in Watford or Croydon, your windows could have blown out. You’d hear the blast from as far as Lincoln, Bristol, and even France.

The voluntary sector cannot do what it needs to do at this time of national crisis if it has gone bust. Charities and social enterprises need swift, simple and substantial funding now. "Whatever it takes" MUST cover charities @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak

Such a sad loss. My thoughts with all who knew and worked with Jo.

[Steve McIvor @SteveMcIvorCEO]

I’m deeply saddened at the tragic loss of our ex colleague and friend Jo, who worked with us to develop our Global Ghost Gear Initiative. She was a wonderful, smart and committed person and will be sorely missed. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

UK charities spend £1,500 per second improving lives and supporting communities. Thanks to all those who donate - however big or small the amount. #YouMadeItHappen

[John Grounds @Groundsy]

@BevKnox @MoveTheWorld Great news and very well deserved. Congratulations.
