Truly excellent @Cyrenians1968 presentation from Amy about their In Reach project in hospitals. Familiar lessons (see slide) which resonate with our own system change work. LOVED her highlighting the difference between bridge systems vs changing systems.

I’m in so many meetings where assumption is cuts coming to third sector services specifically dealing with inequality, poverty and community wealth. We’ve got to come together to make this impossible: these are what prevents GP, hospital, social care and other being overwhelmed.

Listen to our friends @ Caledonia Funeral Aid discussing the unaffordability of funerals & the Funeral Support Payment on BBC Radio Scotland.
As @johnrahalliday says, while it has increased by inflation since 2020, it still doesn't pay enough. 1/2

Good ideas shouldn’t be replicated. They need to be carefully shared among gifted people like Ancha who can make them work in their own context. Rethinking how we end persistent poverty isn’t a recipe. But it can be spread.

Everyone celebrates Scottish Child Payment as if it is a breakthrough. People would not have been so excited if the announcement was simply Universal Credit was going to be raised £25 per child. But the implementation of SCP has now created a new needless huge benefit trap.

Yes we should be more generous in benefits to families (and others). But decades of learning about preventing benefit traps has not been heard.

Worked out @CommRenewal have 94 formal partner organisations. Not general stakeholders or fellow members of networks. I mean organisations where we have an agreement in place for funding, sub-contracting, consortium, SLA, required quarterly meeting schedule etc. #collaboration

Sadly those that prefer capitalism and philanthropy over growing collective or community power have won the argument to define social enterprise. Not the end of the world but perpetuates the idea that a few powerful generous wealthy decision makers is enough to change the world.

Other views are acceptable too - perhaps those that favour scale over principle have a point.

Day 7 - We operate 2 pantries in 2 of Scotland's most deprived areas.
The pantries have become a lifeline for residents who are trying to survive during this cost-of-living crisis
