Hello @levymarket! I bought a pair of these ace earrings from one of your lovely jewellery sellers last year - I’ve just lost one of them and can’t remember the name of the seller to see about getting a replacement, could you help?
I so enjoyed those sessions and learnt a huge amount from you and your colleagues @SRJFleming - great to see this work progressing!
Thanks @SRJFleming glad it was useful and it was a great learning experience for @fecjones and I too 😊
Some news: After four brilliant years, yesterday was my last day at @CLESthinkdo. My memories are a blur of amazing colleagues past & present, work which has often been a joy and the people and places I’ve had the privilege to get to know.
I’m leaving with a head & heart full of inspiration - I’ve met so many people whose clear eyed response to the mega challenges we face has been to think big AND roll up their sleeves. Many of them are the #localgov heros we don’t hear nearly enough about.
So knowing that the @CLESthinkdo blend of thinking & doing is with me forever, I’m heading off to join the great team at @StockportMDC from next week
Really looking forward to running this session for newly elected councillors - we’ll cover the core principles of #communitywealthbuilding, how local gov & partners are animating them in practice & the key role councillors can play in mobilising this approach at all levels!

A blistering, brilliant piece from @oeufling about how deeply broken the UK childcare system and the economic model that drives it are - rage and exhaustion inducing in equal measure. The case for publicly funded, universal, high quality EY care is cast iron!
Wrote about the scandalous state of English childcare for @guardianopinion - featuring amazing & vital work by @ChildcareCovid @katerhardy @XantheWhittaker @PregnantScrewed @Coram @jrf_uk @WomensBudgetGrp @EvaLloyd50 @EYAlliance. Warning: contains rage. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
My ace colleague @LaurenBond96 on what people working at a local level in housing, health and local government are telling us about gender inequality and community wealth building - and most importantly where we go from here👇🏻 cles.org.uk/blog/gender-ineq…
Really looking forward to hosting this - if you’re a feminist interested in local economies or a local economic development person interested in feminism come and join us!

As is clear from this photo - it was a great morning! Grappling with how we can turn the collective brains and hearts of Wigan’s anchor partnership to turning the economic tide. Just loved being back in person with this great gang
Great morning in Wigan talking about community wealth building and how we go deeper! With @HalliwellSonia @fecjones @VicBettany
Me on what it would look like if local economic development engaged with inequality for women 👇🏻 - because 99% of the time it doesn’t! Come and join us on 31st March and help shape what we can do about it.

On #InternationalWomensDay big shout out for @PayGapApp, cutting through mounds of equalitywashing that all sorts of orgs are indulging in - follow if you’d like to cut through the nonsense!
Such an important article from the ace @tomlloydgoodwin

Amen to this! What a brilliant piece from @tomlloydgoodwin
Fabulous piece from @tomlloydgoodwin of @clesthinkdo. Exposing the folly in austerity addled thinking of #communitypower/big society revivalism.

Birmingham Anchor Network may have been socially distanced this morning but very much together in heart&mind! Brilliant to see everyone in real life-so struck by the commitment to get on&do, learn & go again. Reminded that it is in this that more just, better economies are built.
