The 'endless' roundabout' of funding applications that many charities get stuck on is holding back charities from fulfilling their potential.
That's why the Law Family Commission on Civil Society calls for a radical shift in approach from funders.

@A_A_I_C_ are you still active? I'm looking for some very urgent advice with a crisis situation, and came across your website

Have loved re-thinking what evaluation means when you're doing systems change with @jeneralife @LeadbeaterCh and the team at @socfinuk - and excited to join the conversation at #MakingTheSystemShift later this month!

[Jennie Winhall @jeneralife]

£50bn of tax cuts - heavily skewed towards the richest. When food banks can't manage demand.

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

Any of you earn £1m? You're getting a £55k tax cut next year - twice what a typical earner brings home a year

As recently as January, P&O billionaire owners spent £150M sponsoring elite golf contest - now sacks 800 staff with no warning after making £100M loss

Govt “concern” not enough - let’s have emergency laws if needed, practices like these should be banned

Key debate 3pm today. 2 yrs ago Timpson Review recommended councils should be supported to drive multi-agency support for kids at risk of exclusion. Now, more than ever, this needs to happen for pupils most impacted by the pandemic. @edwardtimpson

@CTAUK1 @Endsleigh @socfinuk @transport_wales @DTAScot @ctabill @transportgovuk It was an honour and hugely humbling @CTAUK1 - I've gone from ignoramus to total CT fan in the last 2yrs. What CT does is genuinely moving and inspirational - for me it embodies the strength & purpose of civil society at work. @socfinuk

@BreatheAssured where do I find my appt booking number, please? It flashed up on the screen then timed out and I can't see it on either the confirmation email or in my account. Required for my passenger locator form. Thanks.

[Jessica Davies @jhd88]

@StatsRegulation Good to see our impact at scale thinking chiming a chord in the world of statistics @socfinuk @EmilyJBolton_ and interesting to read about the gaps in adult social care data - a theme our Digi team would agree with, too

[The Drive Partnership @Drive_Partners]

Now Government have agreed to write a Perpetrator Strategy, Helen’s Story shows why it’s so important we get it right, increase safety for all victim survivors and #StopTheAbuseChangeTheStory.

interesting @peterfranklin_ piece about the success story that is Bangladesh https://t.co/BEW7gBa9jK

Hans Rosling used Bangladesh to show how we misunderstand the developing world. In 1962, avg woman had 7 kids & 25% died in infancy; now it's 2 and 0.25% https://t.co/NeedyGDrlR

[Sam Freedman @Samfr]

I beg any MPs following me to vote for this amendment. There are children in Yemen, Syria, Bangladesh who will go w/o food or shelter for *absolutely no reason* because of these cuts. Across the world huge numbers will lose access to medicine + education. You can stop this.

Our report is out! Great working on this with @EmilyJBolton_ , Gaby De Oliveira and @DanFJones72 and all our colleagues at @socfinuk

[Social Finance UK @socfinuk]

We exist to making lasting change in people’s lives – but reaching impact at scale is not easy.

After a decade of working on change at scale, we have been asking ourselves ‘what does it take?’ and ‘what have we learned?’

[Emily Bolton @EmilyJBolton_]

A joy to write this with @jhd88 working alongside @DanFJones72, Gaby de Oliviera, the fabulous team @socfinuk

[Social Finance UK @socfinuk]

Written by @EmilyJBolton_ and @jhd88, it's part of #ChangingLivesChangingSystems, a series exploring what lasting change for people and society looks like in practice, the building blocks that underpin it, and the strategies that help put these in place.
