So honoured to be invited aboard the @HMSPWLS today. It has just been made the Fleet Flagship for the @RoyalNavy leaving on a 7mth tour to Japan. As an affiliate, we are able to support the ship’s crew with welfare and other grant-funding.

Today, we visited #WoodrowHighHouse in Amersham, which is owned and run by @LondonYouth. The house and grounds were gifted to the charity in 1945 by The Goldsmiths' Company for the sole purpose of providing outdoor activities and residential stays for children living in London.

Excellent news to announce this morning. The appointment of a new board to lead the @GSCCharity forward into its next phase.
We are thrilled to announce that The Goldsmiths’ Foundation has appointed a new Board of Trustees to lead the charity as it renews its focus on support for vocational skills, the crafts of jewellery and silversmithing, and the wider creative industries. bit.ly/4hTsWWh

Fab day @bradfordmdc with @Literacy_Trust launch of the 500 Writers programme which will support the writing skills of children across Bradford as the UK’s City of Culture 2025. Also got to hang out on the Bradford Stories Bus. Books & stories are mirrors & windows to the world!

Fantastic article by @RachaelTaylor in @FT re Landmark Grant recipient @AUEA_UTC. @mob_lon raises the rising skill shortage identified in jewellery-making, silversmithing and the creative industries at large and how the @GSCCharity, @GsmithsCentre and employers are trying to help

Thank you for having us @auroraorchestra
So excited to have been invited to the open rehersal @Yourallypally of @auroraorchestra memorised performance of Beethoven’s Ninth with @natyouthchoir for the @bbcproms. Everyone was in incredible including @MasabaneCecilia!!
Devastating! At @GSCCharity we’ve proudly supported @unlockedgrads since 2021 and continue to do so. We’re committed to contributing to their exceptional work, enhancing the role and training of prison officers to bring about systemic change. Looking to you @JamesTCobbler
This is such a dreadfully sad time for @unlockedgrads. I am really hoping that the government can work with us to find a solution so we don't lose this incredible initiative from prisons across England and Wales.

Something must change! At @GSCCharity we’ve partnered with charities working in the women’s estate for years. Women’s centres, properly funded and supported are the way ahead in most cases. Thank you @WIP_live, @weareNWJC, @OSTCharity, @Anawim_BCW and others for your hard work
“The first night I...could hear the other women screaming & crying out. They shouldn’t be in prison – they need #MentalHealth support.” Nadia, a woman now released.

Amazing visit today @LandWorksHQ. It is clear from the individuals we spoke to today, that @LandWorksHQ is a safe place to be vulnerable, a place to build trusting individual relationships, and above all, a chance to develop a non-criminal identity for trainees. #reoffending
