🚨 BREAKING: half of people in the UK have lost access to community spaces - with families in the most deprived areas losing them fastest.
Parks, libraries, leisure centres are essential for our mental and physical health.
We all need places to connect. Especially when life is tough.

BBC staff are already under significant pressure after previous redundancy rounds … further cuts of this scale will inevitably damage its ability to deliver on its public mission. The government must ensure that charter renewal puts the BBC’s funding on a more secure pathway

Incredibly important article for the future of the UK. Is Ofcom ever going to rein in GB News’ mockery of the broadcasting regulations?
Mar 18
Since @Ofcom seems to have given up, we asked 20 experienced journalist from a wide range of backgrounds to watch multiple hours of @GBNEWS . Their conclusion: the supposedly regulated channel has, in effect, become Reform TV. How did it happen? thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbr…

We’re entering the final hours of the government’s consultation on the future of the BBC (deadline = 23:59).
Far more than just a broadcaster, the BBC is a cultural organisation with a unique role in our creative ecology and shared national life.

No government that wants to grow the creative industries, break down barriers to opportunity, or build a more socially cohesive country with an inclusive national story, can afford to see the BBC diminished. It is an essential ingredient in the UK’s future.

But especially given the systemic pressures on its funding model, the BBC’s own future must now be secured with ambition and principle from the UK Government.
This is our chance to say so 👇

Looking for evidence to advocate for the BBC's central role in UK culture for your response to Charter Review, look no further e.g. "The BBC broadcasts close to 28,000 hours of arts, classical music & culture content annually to an average of 22million UK adults each week
