There is an awful lot that is ridiculous about #thetraitors, but the sound track is not one of them. Cracking. Someone deserves an award for it.

Really helpful question from @CatSmithMP on support for small, grass roots charities like @scouts groups across the country, as the cost of living crisis ramps up.
It’s not a secret that I’m a bit of a fan of @scouts and their new offer for 4 and 5 year olds is wonderful. But I’ll be keeping pressure on the government to keep exploring ways which we can help these groups keep fees low for parents during the cost of living crisis.

Today’s brown bag on the creeping loss of personal time will be postponed to make way for a lunch-and-learn about work/life balance.
A massive thank you to @TNLComFund @TNLComFund_CEO @DCMS for helping us bring fun, play and #skillsforlife to over 10,000 children in their early years. In just 12 months. #iWillFund
As we celebrate one year of Squirrels, we want to say a massive thank you to the #iWillFund, @TNLComFund, the Mercers’ Company and @DCMS for your generous support of our #Squirrels programme.
You’re helping us provide #SkillsForLife to children across the UK. @iwill_movement

Come help us shape how we support teenagers and young adults to develop #skillsforlife
Fantastic opportunity for young people to help shape the future 14-24 programme @scouts. We need diverse views, including from those who have never been involved in Scouting. Chance to gain valuable skills & make a difference to thousands of young people: scouts.org.uk/volunteer/join…

Did you hear about @scouts work in saving over 4 tones of food going to landfill by working @felixprojectuk? If not listen back to @bbc5live 17:49! It’s remarkable what our young women and men were are to do with the public. #communityimpact #amillionhands bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:b…
On #InternationalYouthDay2022, here’s a brilliant blog on how our new early years section, Squirrels, helped a volunteer get into uni. In my home region of Fife @ScoutsScotland
Thank you to the thousands of volunteers bringing Squirrels to young people. scouts.scot/news-events/news…
Great/helpful thread by @jefcharlotte from @PrincesTrust on a whole range of policy areas affecting young people.
Really interesting report on potential reinvestment into youth/community services that could come from removing charitable status of private schools.
