#crowdfundingproject - restoring Loughborough's Generator Hall to create a large capacity, multi-purpose community arts venue. > crowdfunder.co.uk/p/generato… Great use of @ArchHFund to double the donations. @GeneratorLboro #LboroTownDeal @ArchHFundEng

Great to hear #liverpool City Council approved new community asset transfer policy – using #socialvalue to offset the cost of using council-owned land/buildings. Enabling #vcse to maximise underused assets for community benefit. >> bit.ly/3AkohtC @lpoolcouncil #SocEnt

Great to see @socialvalueport supporting the consultation on UK's TOMs Mapping Tool. I hope this will help #vcse with the commonplace difficulties in #socialvalue measurement and reporting using the Social Value Model and National TOMs. bit.ly/3E0m7P8 #SDGs #socent

Excellent example of plans for eco-friendly, affordable homes and thriving communities via @saferegen #BuildBackBeautiful #destinationbootle gofundme.com/f/help-bootle-b… “the most significant regeneration initiative in the area for 30 years”

Already impressed with the @HACThousing and @NHC #socialvalue21 conference. Insightful speakers considering #socialvalue across #wellbeing, the #economy, and the #environment at a time when it's most needed. (Currently @bevhurley from @theIED) Going to be an inspiring day.

Excellent support from #NHS Civic Medical Centre @civic_mc_wirral with my mum - already seeing improvement in her physical and mental health. Amazing service from reception, nurses and doctors; many thanks to the whole team during this difficult and enduring time. #NHSheroes

Sad #charity #vcse news; having improved older people's lives for over 20 years, significant financial challenges (worsened by COVID-19) have closed Age UK #Dudley. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the team for years, and I wish them all the best. @age_uk bit.ly/2YJMvtL

Another great meeting with @MyerscoughColl - who continue to lead by example in supporting wider #charity and #VCSE development. [ps - send my best to Bruce the tenrec!]

Great support from all parties. #impact is so important for the #socent / #VCSE sector - yet still groups regularly overlook it. Carry on the sterling work all :)
