The UK has just published its detailed stats on aid spend last year, when spend was cut from 0.7% of GNI to 0.5%.

Data on “the worst educational crisis for a century, and certainly since the world wars”:
- 70% of 10 yr olds in low/middle-income countries cannot read a simple story
- children'll lose $17trn over lifetime
- learning delays are 8 months globally; 9-15 in middle income states
As the #CostOfLivingCrisis worsens, the impact becomes increasingly visible at our #Foodbank centres. In May, we saw 1,205 visitors come to us for help, with a further 1,203 in June. Whether you’re volunteering or donating, any help you provide means the world to all involved.
The #CostOfLivingCrisis is having a huge impact on people in #Cambridge and our centres are busier than they have ever been. Thank you, as always, to all of our #volunteers and supporters who enable us to support so many people in need.
Baked beans are usually one of the most common items donated to the #Foodbank – it’s an item we are simply never short of. This is a real sign of the times. Please support if you can. #CostOfLivingCrisis
I had a great visit to Tanzania last week and the @FCDO funded Shule Bora programme. Working for Government of Tanzania nationally and in 9 Regions, the programme will have a major impact on children's lives and life chances. Well done Cambridge Education…https://t.co/A0sKMaAiKB
