@Will_Gompertz hello! I’m a trustee of water and sanitation charity @WATSAN_Uganda. We’re running an art competition on the theme of “water is life”, and I wondered if there was any chance you’d consider being a judge?! The resulting work will be turned into a charity calendar.

Here I am talking about my slightly love/hate relationship with volunteering! Mostly love and commitment to community…
It was The Big Help Out - so why didn’t I help out?

President @KagutaMuseveni: you wanted a scientific opinion to establish if homosexuality is natural, before deciding whether to sign the Anti-Homosexuality Bill

Congrats to @NCVO on this achievement! @UKCF_tweets would be great to hear your views on this positive news.
The build up to this positive news has been a long journey. At times frantic, at times angry, at times desperate… and today euphoric!
A huge well done to my colleagues @NCVO and the wider sector for being relentless.
We have been heard 💜 #SpringBudget

I'm running an online auction of promises this Thursday evening, in aid of @WATSAN_Uganda. All welcome!
Tea on the terrace in the Houses of Parliament anyone?! Or a signed 2004 England rugby shirt? Ride in a vintage car? watsanuganda.org/2023/03/11/…

The Worcester College clock has stopped;
It’s stuck right there at 12 o’clock.
And when I pass you’ll hear me say:

I’m organising an auction of promises for @WATSAN_Uganda, hosted by @Brucey1! Who knows someone who could offer a really unique auction lot for sale?! Funds will support people in rural Uganda access clean water and dignified sanitation close to their homes. 💦🚽
Our online auction of promises will be the chance to ‘buy’ something unique in exchange for a donation to WATSAN. We’re now looking for some inspiring prizes that will get people bidding! watsanuganda.org/2023/01/14/…
Thank you @fleurostojak for having me on your show on @BBCOxford last night to talk about how doing good could help combat the January blues - and what we’re doing to spread kindness at @OxfordshireCF! From 1:10:51 #philanthropy bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0dqgz…
I do feel a duty to mention that as far as I know there isn’t any scientific evidence that Blue Monday is a thing. Lots of us can identify with feeling a bit down in January, but depression can affect people at any time. @OxfordshireMind have good advice: oxfordshiremind.org.uk/blue-…

Do I know any engineers?! @10thNOGuides are planning an engineering night with hopefully a speaker or two, and some practical activities.
What does an engineer do? What does a career in engineering look like?
Please PM me if you or someone you know might enjoy coming to talk!
Thx so much to @DPrever at @BBCOxford for having me in this morning to talk about @OxfordshireCF’s support during the #costofliving crisis, in partnership with @OxfordshireCC. If you can, please make a donation to our Cost of Living Fund: oxfordshire.org/giving/cost-… #DonatetheRebate

@Brucey1 great to chat with you on @BBCOxford this morning! Thank you for letting me talk about how fun it is to volunteer for @Girlguiding in North Oxford and across @GGOxfordshire. If anyone is interested in volunteering with us in N. Oxford please see bit.ly/3NZc00J!
Volunteering as a Girl Guide leader has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! We're looking for brilliant, inspiring women to join our local team of leaders running Rainbow, Brownie, Guide and Ranger groups in Marston and Wolvercote. More: bit.ly/3NZc00J
