It would be so so helpful if you could retweet my May botanical illustration & mental health workshop in my previous tweet if you have a few seconds. I've been unable to work since December due to a breakdown (not remotely proud of this) and I'm trying to get back on my feet so if you could RT it would help enormously. I so love teaching people how to draw & how it changes brain biochemistry resulting in better mental health 🌿

I go to an independent shop near my sister, in Pershore. No tape measure. You just stand there bra less and she suss you out. Brilliant.
How about picking up all the recycling that was missed yesterday? B20 is awash with soggy cardboard....

Interesting read. Good old Compact days.....
In-depth: Will the Civil Society Covenant deliver the ‘reset’ charities need? shar.es/agY2qR
Helga Edström OBE retweeted
We’re excited to annouce that we're working with @DCMS and @ACEVO to develop the Civil Society Covenant - a framework that aims to reset how government engages with civil society, creating lasting positive change for the sector.
Learn why this matters and how you can get involved: ncvo.org.uk/news-and-insight…
And, of course, no one will reference the Compact ( good or bad) or the Civil Society Strategy wot we wrote. Constantly re inventing the narrative
Two chances this is going 2b worth more than the paper it’s written on… slim and none. civilsociety.co.uk/news/cove…
