@craftyescapism Glad you have found it & are enjoying it! We love it! It’ll be here until the beginning of February ‘25 - and if there is demand - we’ll extend its stay. #Health #Wellbeing #Bristol #Community

Amazing visit to @HulmeCgardenC today; incredible ongoing transformation of this ex-carpark in Manchester over 35 yrs - as a green oasis and space for the local community. Lots of learning & shared challenges - #inspirational #socialenterprise #community thx @localitynews 4 opp

Over 7,000 charities sign @NCVO & @ACEVO letter to chancellor over £1.4bn NICs rise as concerns spread

@CFGtweets is asking charities to complete a survey on how the rise will affect them https://t.co/ajrmEQ9b9I

Our #ActivityAllianceSurvey found that just 17% of disabled people said they ‘see people like me working in sport and physical activity’. Today we release research shedding light on the barriers and enablers to disabled people being part of the workforce.

.@ProfDonnaHall presents a radical new model of place leadership, which starts and ends with the person

[Locality @localitynews]

"If the government wants to see places thrive, it needs to be radical. Bottom-up, place-based regeneration does work..." - Jo Cooper @BackontheMapLtd #Locality24

[Chris Wood @Chris_Wood0]

Big clap for @MayorofGM Andy Burnham’s call for core funding for community organisations who know what their area needs. Also calls for devolved welfare budgets and a housing first approach. “If you start with place first you set the conditions for things to work” #Locality24

[The Ardagh @TheArdagh]

"Gov needs to trust community organisations & provide core funding to enable you to do what you do day in day out."

*Spontaneous round of applause*

Hope to get beyond silos - we have an opp to reimagine systems from bottom up **for people** 💡

[The Ardagh @TheArdagh]

Great to be @localitynews #Locality24 - @AndyBurnhamGM "it's a time that requires completely new thinking." Funding for community spaces like @The Ardagh in the UK are broken - new models are constantly being dev by community orgs but it's increasingly hard to balance the books

[Locality @localitynews]

"Community organisations play a key role in driving economic development, providing services and bringing people together.

We look forward to working with Government on specific investment and support so that community organisations can really help their neighbourhoods thrive."

[Locality @localitynews]

Our response to #Budget24:

"We welcome investment in health, housing, economic opportunities and local govt.

But community organisations have faced multiple crises, increased demand and tighter budgets.

Many will struggle with additional staffing costs without new income...
