It’s been a long time since I last tweeted anything but I’m hoping this is the place to point me in the best direction of the best places to send a #PressRelease in #sheffield @HelpSheffield

A huge thank you to the @YorksAgSoc for a generous grant of £2,000! https://t.co/DUA6177tr4

@CharityHourUK @Lucy_Stone Annual accounts/reports. Can be time consuming to read but ultimately saves time if that state who they fund/if they don’t accept unsolicited applications etc. Also looking at the reports for similar charities to yours to see if they list who their funders are

[Ruth Gage @ruthlois]

@Lucy_Stone Agree 100% on unrestricted funds!

[Ruth Gage @ruthlois]

@MillinerStuart @CharityHourUK @Lucy_Stone I think the closest I’ve had is that the project was seen as statutory which they wouldn’t fund. It’s not but as it’s an educational charity it can be hard to make that clear. So that was something I have tried to work on since

[Ruth Gage @ruthlois]

@CharityHourUK @Lucy_Stone Exactly. Especially if the organisation/project seems such a good fit. Often get “there were too many projects to fund” which is fair enough but still tough not to know!

Massive thanks to @Grippleltd for choosing Whirlow as a charity partners last year. We went along this week to express our thanks and were presented with a whopping £7,300 donation! The staff really got behind us to tackle the problem of vulnerable kids facing exclusions

[Ruth Gage @ruthlois]

Or any kids doing something to distract from whatever mine is doing

[Hollie McNish @holliepoetry]

I know it’s not ok but I secretly get really happy when very posh people’s kids are worse behaved than mine in public

[Ruth Gage @ruthlois]

I have a pig named after me! 😂

[WhirlowHallFarm @WhirlowHallFarm]

It's a tradition at Whirlow that new arrivals are named after our newest staff members...so meet Ruth & Zoe our new sows. Welcome to the farm ladies! #pigs #whirlowworks #nicetomeetyou

And I can’t blame the sobbing on pregnancy hormones this year. I’ll blame the baby instead.🎄💕

Current life goal: have the baby fed, bathed and in bed before @emmerdale.

Baby just woke up 😭
