Oh I feel this. It took me 20 mins to go through this, to order food on the train this week. I was 10 paces from the catering car but due to a “technical issue” they could only do food orders through the app. The whole process resulted in at least five emails, too.

@lner.co.uk thank you to your staff for their help at Kings Cross (at the barrier by the upstairs first class lounge) when I had a sudden nosebleed on my way to the platform - very much appreciated.

Agree with much of this. When we’re working on ‘awareness raising’ - with whom? To what end? What’s the behaviour change we want to create? How are we measuring impact?

This week @cfgsocial.bsky.social published Charity Banking Challenges 2024, new research into the issues facing charities and recommendations into making life - well, banking - a bit easier for staff, volunteers and trustees. Let me know what you think! cfg.org.uk/news/majorit...

Off to the beach for a final reset before Monday rolls around - feeling very lucky to have #Northumberland all a round me.

Visited a @trusselluk.bsky.social Foodbank in south London last week as a trustee of In Kind Direct - inspiring, to see such kindness and compassion for people in need; heartbreaking, that we have so many hungry people in the UK. Please keep supporting.

Governance day, - morning at school looking at exclusions, afternoon session with one of @cfgsocial.bsky.social board committees, early evening meeting with an apprenticeship provider’s govs. Love the insight and variety; CFG’s volunteering days mean I can take on gov roles, charity and otherwise.

Smashing day in #Northumberland with a real chill in the air. Back to work tomorrow feeling refreshed after a great walk up to Blawearie via the Cateran Hole.
