Really pleased to see this report out (and to have contributed to it) from two outfits I know well! This government is doing good things on including civil society in its work but can do better still as the report makes clear.
š£ OUT NOW ā Mission Critical 03: Mission-Driven Partnerships with Civil Society New research w/ @NPCthinks & @LBFEW calls for a new partnership between civil society and Govt, giving the sector a seat at the table in shaping and delivering missions š§µ š

@MartinSLewis Thanks for this Martin. He was a good friend of my dads (from LSE days). I've never seen that photo before.

As he says "In a series of enjoyable and bite-sized fictional (but almost certainly not that fictional) tales, Corry walks you through the life of a special adviser, or Spad." Buy a copy for your 2025 reading shelf via

Is lots of evidence about positive impact of access to green space on wellbeing - we assembled a lot at the now defunct @WhatWorksWB. Eg
I missed this last week from @csjthinktank on impact of planning on loneliness: Adults with access to green space: 41% felt lonely sometimes 59% no feelings of loneliness Adults with no access to green space: 56% felt lonely sometimes 44% no feelings of loneliness

@RyanShorthouse @lisanandy Never great evidence of vfm of NCS in fact - as I have written about a number of times. Nothing wrong with youth volunteering though and many charities can enable that.
