We felt like it’s the right moment to reshare this blog from @rebka99.bsky.social who draws on her own lived experience to ask whether a charity’s 'busy' and a social enterprise’s 'busy' are the same thing - and what social investment might have to do with it! Read the blog here: buff.ly/OwCuQPa

On this day fours years ago, enough was enough. The horrific invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Something inside of me snapped and a lifetime of waking up, switching on the news ended in floods of tears for this incredible country. Слава Україні 🇺🇦

Christmas is economically strange. We stop working. Spending surges. Profit stops mattering. Time off is normalised. Family and care come first. And we accept all of this without question. The real tragedy is not Christmas excess. It is forgetting the lesson in January. youtu.be/pgFUNnP0Tj4?...

“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things.” Robert Brault The smallest moments often mean the most. The simple things really do matter. 🧡 #kindness #gentleness #humanness Picture by simply anxious

A soft illustrated grid of nine small gift boxes, each with a different coloured ribbon. Around each box is a handwritten phrase: calm steady energy, freedom from expectation, soft slow paced days, ease on repeat, a quietness that settles, rest that truly restores, a gentle kind of merry, people that feel like home, peace that lingers. The title reads “All I want for Christmas is…” in simple lettering. The colours are muted pinks, greens and creams, giving a warm and soothing feel. Picture by Simply Anxious

Four one hour workshops with people I don’t know in four locations across Norfolk and Suffolk in one day 🤯 This means pre-gluing Pinpoint boards and doing as much prep as possible as there won’t be time to set up. What could possibly go wrong….

Let's talk real numbers in social investment. 💰 I've noticed a nervousness among charity & social enterprise leaders to ask direct money-related questions about borrowing. I can practically hear the question everyone is holding back: "How much did you borrow?" 🤔

Just let that sink in. I’ve no interest in pitching people against each other, but facts is facts and there’s an obvious place to look to raise some cash 👀
