Understanding how the @BritishRedCross is providing vital humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict in the Middle East. Staff and volunteers continue to work day and night to bring life-saving assistance and medical treatment to those who need it most.

In every emergency, winter brings even more difficulties.
As temperatures continue to drop in Gaza, people lack blankets, warm clothes, access to food, clean drinking water, and proper sanitation. Over the last three months, civilians have borne the brunt of the hostilities.⬇

Really exciting opportunity to lead the Crisis Response team in the UK (and support emergencies overseas) - across our responses to fires, floods, terror attacks, power outages and so much more. Hugely impactful. Exciting times for the team too 😄: careers.redcross.org.uk/vaca…

Good to see that the new National Risk Register focuses more on the human consequences of risks. This creates fertile ground to work on preparedness and resilience for people beforehand. We look forward to taking this agenda forwards. @BritishRedCross @LisaJaneHollins @vcsep

It's often lonely being a change agent. Communities of practice (CoPs) can give us a sense of belonging, support & courage. We don't need permission or formal power to create a CoP; just to connect with people who share our passion. Here's a straightforward guide to CoPs: management30.com/blog/commun… Via @Management30 @FerraroRoberto

"We already know what the politics of hate does, that's why we become refugees."
Narmada talks about what happens when a country rejects those who seek refuge - and shares a book she brought with her to the UK. Part of the wonderful #PeopleMove project by @dailymirror and @photographphilipcoburn

It's come to my attention again that few people have any idea what the government's "stop the boats" illegal migration bill does, so:
It ends the right to seek asylum in the UK.
No decsions. No applications will be processed. From Afghans to Albanians. Limbo forever for all.
