Very relevant to today’s discussion @MayorOfWY@alison_4life & something as co-chair of the children and young people’s philanthropy forum nationally I will be attending - especially as we know West Yorkshire gets so little relative investment from national trusts and foundations

A fantastic day - full of inspiration, authenticity and new connections. Fired up to do more together to secure equitable investment that helps more unheard stories be told. Thank you @MayorOfWY@alison_4life@spiceyw and so many other wonderful women
Amazing to hear so many inspiring stories at #WOWY2023 with @MayorOfWY@LeedsCityMuseum and how these women navigated through difficult challenges, making them the extraordinary women they are today. #IWD2023
Love these kind of events - bringing together people from all walks of life who want to make a difference to others in Leeds to meet each other, be inspired and have collective impact 💚
We had a brilliant time at our Creating Positive Futures event last week at @LSTENLeeds, where we got to show some of our supporters what can be achieved when we all work together to make a difference for people in our city. Thank you to all who joined us!
Really enjoyed recording this one & sharing some wisdom from fellow Leeds lasses @UKCPhilanthropy and Clare Marks of the Bartlett Foundation #giveloveleeds
"There's research showing that people who give tend to be healthier, happier, have greater life satisfaction, have larger networks." Hear from Dr. Beth Breeze @UKCPhilanthropy about the benefits of giving in our GiveLoveLeeds podcast 👉 bit.ly/3wDiX1p#GiveLoveLeeds
Thank you to @BallLeeds for inviting us to the sponsor’s lunch yesterday at @KPMG. It was great to see so much passion and enthusiasm to collectively make a difference in our city and create opportunities for those that need it the most through The Leeds Digital Inclusion Fund.
