𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨'𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 After a week spent volunteering at a well-known festival in Winchester (to raise money for Shelter - you can chip in at their website if you'd like to), and another week to recover, our Director Harriet Shone is thrilled to be back and headlining this week's SHW. One thing of interest the Social Housing Weekly team has picked up is the news that there is something of a night of the long knives happening in Whitehall with Tory-appointed non-executive directors facing the chop. We'll keep an eye on any particularly important sackings for the sector and report back. In the meantime, read on for our assessment of possible solutions to the housing crisis, and more! ➡️ https://shorturl.at/fVjwU Donate to Shelter here: https://shorturl.at/9pjKH Jesse Peacock Harriet Shone Peter Lord

NPC (New Philanthropy Capital) has released the Partners for Change report, which was funded by Charities Aid Foundation (CAF). It's an insightful strategy proposal for the next government to consider as it's packed out with information about what the government could do to move philanthropy in the UK forward. There are: 🎯 Eight recommendations for putting the partnership between government and charities on a strong footing 🎯 Nine recommendations in priority policy areas where civil society and government can work together to make change 🎯 Nine recommendations about how charities and funders can work together. Includes topics about in-house giving strategies, how impact and data can be used, ways the inequalities that society is addressing could be addressed, how giving can be used to respond to the climate crisis, how giving can guide the government's response to criminal justice, and how children and young people should have a seat at the table. Let's continue to work together to make change happen. #makingchange #philanthropy #givingstrategies https://lnkd.in/ewu7yTHS

Fostering open communication and transparency with the next generation is one of the best ways to get them engaged. Starting with simple activities like sharing family history or participating in charity runs can create meaningful interactions that introduce young beneficiaries to family wealth and social responsibility. As they grow, you can evolve these discussions to cover budgeting, investing, and family values, preparing them to understand and manage wealth effectively. Read more about engaging young beneficiaries on our website. https://lnkd.in/eJJv3N-S #TrustUsWithYourFamilyLegacy

If the government and institutions don’t learn that THIS new generation of young people are here to change the world, there will severe socioeconomic repercussions that will damage the UK. They are not driven by money and power like the past generations. They WILL make a difference whether you like it or not. We, the older and the elderly, need to wake up and smell the coffee. The old ways of running society and a country have been found wanting. The smarter ones from us will realise that we need to create the space for the young to lead…and just get out of their way. #youngleaders #leadership #youthleaders #britisheconomy
