➡️ Divestment v engagement
➡️ Need for greater transparency

Fantastic to hear about progress on the Charity Investment Governance Principles, building on Butler Sloss and exploring best practice in decision making - hat-tip to @CFGtweets @NCVO and others for driving forward.
Looking forward to the launch 🚀

Pleased to speak at the Mission Driven Business reception this evening.
As we set our priorities for government, it was great to discuss how we can work together with the social investment sector to invest in and support communities across the country.

We're hearing from charities we partner with how they are having to adapt to keep people and communities safe from the far right violence. For anyone who needs it @hopenothate and others have produced this essential resource for charities and groups hopenothate.org.uk/communiti…

Great to read about the important role French co-operatives have played in the development and delivery of the Paris Olympics - from building arenas to providing goods and services.

Fantastic to see @Steph_Peacock the new Minister for Civil Society @DCMS getting out and about already.
Visiting a brilliant social enterprise in Barnsley that makes education accessible for young people (also one that has received #DormantAssets funding via social investment).

Brilliant to visit social enterprise @ReallyNEETPro today as minister. I had the chance to see their outstanding youth work & learning offer, supporting young people to build relationships and develop new skills across Barnsley. They also have sites in Rotherham, Telford & London
