Before my time with The Pensions Regulator is done, I'd love to figure out how I could get paid to organise all the cross-gov things. Not fussed what combination of people or organisations fund me (public, private, voluntary sector, etc) within reason. #PublicSector #community #events

Q: Anyone fancy doing a @ukgovcamp.com XL next year, please? Would be interesting to open the registration this month, then have all year to promote it and see how many people we get. Would also be awesome to get a sponsored hotel deal so people can arrive the day before. Thoughts? #ukgc26

Enormous thanks to the organisers of #ukgc26 and to the sponsors. The event is a highlight of my year, every year - I’m leaving with fresh insights, reflections and book recommendations! Such brilliant and lovely people.

Thank you #ukgc26. Great day, community and discussions.. and hope!

Thanks to @mikerose.co.uk for helping me run #HopeCamp at @ukgovcamp.com 2026 ( #ukgc26 ) in #Birmingham today. Look at all the mess we made 🙂

Really looking forward to @bm.wel.by's session at #ukgc26 🙂 You can view details of all sessions via UKGovCamp.com/grid

recommend following the UKGovCamp hashtag today! #ukgc26

Great to be hosted by a council for #ukgc26 - public services all come together around people in places 🫶🏽

...and we're off 🙂 #ukgc26

I'm walking to the @ukgovcamp.com 2026 ( #ukgc26 ) venue in #Birmingham and just got shat on by a seagull. Fuck you bad omens, nothing will keep me away 🙂

Making stickers for @ukgovcamp.com 2026 in #Birmingham this Saturday. Thanks to @janethughes.bsky.social for the #HopeCamp idea 🙂 Makes a nice change from #FailCamp... #ukgc26

Can anyone recommend someone looking for contract work in January who can do a mix of Product and Delivery? Going to CC @jukes.ie as it's for the team you just left! But open to good people from anywhere

We’ve published our response to the ADHD Taskforce report. One big win: it calls for a “single front door” for ADHD care, helping replace today’s fragmented pathways. With a new review now underway, it’s vital this progress isn’t paused. Test-and-learn pilots can move this forward safely.

@jukes.ie do you have a working in the open playbook, please?
