Matt Hancock - I'm really glad that we can send out free school meals when schools are out.
Piers Morgan - If you're that glad... why did you vote against giving free school meals?

New @valonline Blog: UK Charity Week 2020 – Time to Celebrate and Donate - Helen Oparinde, reflects on how UK Charity Week can help raise the profile of the local VCSE sector as it provides support during the pandemic into 2021. https://t.co/wRwZPFaBAV #Leicester#UKCharityWeek
And we're off with #FutureFocus20! Starting out with our Chief Exec @KevanLiles_VAL talking about what Future Focus is about this year and why events like this are so important for bringing our local #VCSE sector together.
I've just booked to attend the three day virtual @valonline#FutureFocus2020 conference for the charity, voluntary & community sector in #Leicester, #Leicestershire & #Rutland.
There's a number of excellent keynote speakers planned, plus a range of workshops to choose from.

NEW: We’re collating data on redundancies in the charity sector. Our interactive resource charts the overall numbers and when the redundancies were announced, so that philanthropists and policymakers can better understand where the sector is struggling: https://t.co/hkU9SyOICv

@NPCthinks' Dan Corry on what we've learnt from the #Covid19UK#volunteering boom: https://t.co/dK7D66X1vM #volsec
Absolutely awful. More scrutiny of a supposed "emergency fund" than @TNLComFund's ususal grants process. Unclear review process by PWC is not best practice. Charities needed this funding back in April when they applied for it, not at some undisclosed date. https://t.co/RT1aVj50RU
We are calling for charities to be put at the heart of government thinking. Read our submission to @danny__kruger, following the Prime Minister’s invitation for him to develop new proposals on the role of civil society in Britain: https://t.co/Pg7SWP5vXa
An interesting look at the rapid organic development of community #volunteering during lockdown. #Community assets and spaces are key to creating a sense of togetherness that encourages mutual aid https://t.co/DlmosgutCD
