Tomorrow is Burns Night, when Scotland honours its greatest poet. But Robert Burns wasn't just writing poems — he was reviving the Scots language. Scots was once spoken by kings — but it was cast aside. Here's the untold tale of English's closest cousin, and how it survived 🧵

“I’ve seen these guys help people who don’t speak English print off a form for a visa ... Then they’ll patiently help someone who’s homeless. Then they’ll help me with my inquiry about a book, * they’ll know all about it. And they’re grossly underpaid.” theguardian.com/books/article/…



Very interesting thread on how we can realign public sector agency and investment through procurement towards delivering mission-driven government.

A thread on public procurement...For the last 5 years, Camden have been on a journey towards mission-driven government. Following on from the launch of our Community Wealth Fund, we have been working with @IIPP to explore mission-driven procurement /1



Does anyone know what this #insect is? About 5 cm in length, flies and a very long non-barbed stinger. I’m based in Perth Scotland. Can’t deny it, took this photo and then scarpered 😨 #entemology

Two photos 4 years apart - my partner JR’s garden project. As you can see, in 2020 it was pretty bare but now it is full of pollinators, birds and beauty. He’s not with us to see the fruits of his labour but he would have loved it 🐝 🪶🪺🐞🦋🌻🌱❤️

We need greater focus on systems thinking rather than just dealing with here and now change. But it’s tough and needs commitment from all players to achieve it.

The change challenges we face are typically complex & the change is hard to "manage". So we often break them down into multiple projects that are owned by different teams. But this can create more complexity as we try to coordinate different views, processes & stakeholder needs…

An excellent blog from @NLMason23 - where we are with Community Wealth Building; where we need to be and the critical role of the third sector. We were delighted to host Naomi as our day 1 keynote speaker last week at #BuildingOurFutureTogether

Where is the community in community wealth building? Naomi Mason reflects on her keynote to the @TSIScotNet conference, five months of working to understand the CWB landscape in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and the role that the third sector can play in building the movement. ow.ly/im4J50REq42

One cowslip left in MurrayRoyal hospital grounds which this week had hundreds of this native wildflower. This bank is next to the Leven Ward, with a sensory garden to help mental wealth and wellbeing. The irony was not lost on me. Why is @nhstayside grass cutting? #nomowsummer

In 1296, the Stone of Destiny was removed from Scone. In 2024 it returns to its historical home. In a van. With no ceremony. £27m investment in the museum that will house it but we miss the economic and cultural opportunity of an historic moment in time thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/perth-…

This development and Angela who leads it, are simply fantastic. The work and difference that they are making to community and people in Clackmannanshire is exceptional. @EmmaMacGC @REOStirling @JulieHaslamCLD - can you get word out about the project manager role?

Please share 💕
