Last year we were so excited to have our first cohort of leaders who grew up on summer hype lead out residential camp. Your money will help us keep going and build the next generation of young leaders.

I am running the Hackney Half for Summer Hype in just 1 week! I know there are lots of requests for sponsoring atm but I would be so appreciative if you could spare just a little bit - this will be the best money you spend all month!

I keep coming back to this. The chair of our equalities watchdog saying that having somewhere to go to the toilet should be dependent on "powers of advocacy" rather than a right.

After years of people delegitimising trans advocacy orgs as malign influences, this phrasing is particularly striking.

Moving to hear the PM introduced by an early years worker, cancer survivor and heat pump plumber (one of those much vaunted green jobs!).

Beyond the buzzwords and metrics the missions touch on people's ordinary hopes, ambitions and perseverance.

They're most meaningful when we remember that!

"Belonging comes before belief" Fantastic to hear from @hahrie.bsky.social alongside a brilliant room of organisers, campaigners and changemakers.

Vital reflections on how we bring more people, regardless of our differences, into the work of social and economic transformation.
