Really helpful, thanks Ian

Is your research on charity banks available to registered members? Following CAF's system redesign we're struggling to process payroll, so are looking for alternative options. Thanks!

And finally, an absolute treat to hear @hilarycottam.bsky.social speak again, this time on her latest research on good work. Massive themes around the need for a better vision of what meaningful work actually means now, and the joyful need for play!

I think this is so fab- a brilliant definition of the 'secret sauce' that is social capital #StrongerThings

Ian tells his team "we should be the beating heart of human decency". I absolutely love this

Ian Thomas kicks off #StrongerThings, pointing out that the phrase "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" was coined by Benjamin Franklin in *1736*. So we've known it for a while...

It's my first #StrongerThings since 2022, and I'm super excited. Love this event for its inspiring examples of community powered change, the pragmatic advice, and the vital calls to action. Public service batteries recharging 🔋

I think your democracy pages are down, I can't get them to work on mobile or desktop

I was chatting to our eldest kid this week about how you bring the Periodic table to life.

This. This is it.

Periodic table by lickability :)

(by Reddit user: u/Wellihol)

Note: this chart is in some cases possibly dangerously inaccurate. e.g. Elemental Calcium can cause fire in the presence of water. So, for any elemental licking experiments, take with a pinch of Na Cl
The image is a playful reinterpretation of the periodic table of elements titled "Can I Lick It?" Instead of categorizing chemical elements, this version appears to classify various substances based on whether they are safe to lick. The design mimics the structured layout of a traditional periodic table, lending a scientific aesthetic to the humorous concept. Below the title, an explanatory text likely provides context for the classification system. The display includes four circular elements, possibly representing different materials or examples relevant to the theme. The combination of scientific visuals and an amusing premise creates an engaging and informative piece. It's not accurate in terms of safety, so don't do this at home.

I loved that quote too! Really invigorating session, can't wait to see how the movement grows (and cobtribute to it!)

(Pragmatically I do think staff should be allowed to work for a salary though)

The #DoWith conversation about the role of public sector professionals reminds me of the three stonecutters parable- can they see the *actual value* of their work, and how their efforts contributes to community-level benefits? For so many this can be hugely inspiring if the incentives are there.

This is great from @cormacrussell.bsky.social "The way we think about help needs help, and our approach to change has to change" #DoWith

I appreciated Adam apologising for Teams Townhall at the start (which definitely doesn't *feel* different from usual😀). Looking forward to the breakouts after this inspiring panel
