Of course I do have a rather personal interest in "Movember"!
It was heartening to see how many MPs at PMQ yesterday were sporting Mos. And
in our own sector notables among those growing Mos are Rob Owen of the St Giles
Trust and David Fielding our head hunter friend. I've donated to David's giving page. You can see the result here
Having had prostate cancer I think I can be let off
actually growing one (it would look awful) but I do think Sir Stuart needs
encouragement to join in next year. Perhaps all the umbrella heads ( excluding Caron obviously) should , so come on Joe and Peter...next year? I’ll sponsor
you too.
I shall be seeing the non moustached Sir S shortly- we
are going to a meeting of the Commission on Civil Society with the Charity
Commission and the Electoral Commission to discuss the future of the Lobbying
Bill. The next report of the Commission will be out soon with recommendations
for changes to the Bill following the ACEVO inspired " pause". Let's
hope the Government, who seem in u-turn mode, will listen. I'm hopeful we can
secure meaningful change; the Commission work on this has been tremendous. Good
work by Bishop Harries.
And congratulations to Jeremy Hunt and his health team on
persisting with the arguments on plain cigarette packaging. Looks like its
going to happen. So it should. We can't afford to loose any battles in the
fight against cancer.
