#RightNow, charities are doing everything they can to make a difference, but resources are running out and people and causes are suffering. We need government to create an Emergency Support Fund. Sign our letter to the PM here nmn.org.uk/rightnow-campaign… #NeverMoreNeeded

If the #BeirutExplosion happened in London…
Zone 1 would be destroyed. Widespread destruction 2.5km away. Damaged buildings 7.5km away. Further out, in Watford or Croydon, your windows could have blown out. You’d hear the blast from as far as Lincoln, Bristol, and even France.

The voluntary sector cannot do what it needs to do at this time of national crisis if it has gone bust. Charities and social enterprises need swift, simple and substantial funding now. "Whatever it takes" MUST cover charities @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak
Yesterday we announced how we're working with charities to help coordinate a major volunteering push to support people through the #Coronavirus outbreak.
Find out more about the work of @NatEmergTrust @ChtyCommission @NCVO @BritishRedCross and others

An excellent showing on the gender front, but I'm conscious that in the absence of @adeelawarley, all the women in this picture are white. @ACEVO is committed to doing more to break down the structural barriers that discriminate against women of colour in our sector
Strong, intelligent, strategic -
a new generation of female leaders is standing up for the charity sector and @RebeccaKCooney has been talking to them bit.ly/2NtjKZZ #TScoverstars
