Ooh like this simple approach to grantmaking
The Boring Fund will be open for applications in November.

If your small UK charity needs (up to) £200 to cover something boring like insurance or web hosting, take a look.

They welcome donations too.
The Boring Fund - Open Collective
We support small non-profit organisations (UK) by only funding the really boring (but essential) stuff like insurance, accountancy or admin

Still remember that night in a slightly dodgy hotel with Dame Stella Rimmington (and Sarah Tyacke) as part of the consultation process for The Archives Task Force (20+ years ago). Not sure the doors locked properly and you had to plug the kettle in on the floor -she said she’d stayed in worse places

Started watching Joan Hickson’s Murder at the Vicarage and already noticed two negative mentions of the Victorians and not even a body yet - all the fault of @christietime.bsky.social
