A stylized graphic of the cover for Invisible Grantmakers 2025. The design features a large orange starburst with the word “NEW” in bold white text across the center. In the top right corner, small blue text reads “social partnership marketing” with three dots vertically aligned. At the bottom right, the title “IG 2025 Invisible Grantmakers” is written in gold and soft blue serif fonts. The background consists of layered rectangles in light blue, white, and periwinkle, with an orange outline framing the entire image. The overall look is clean, modern, and slightly retro.

Invisible Grantmakers 2025 is here!

Nothing to see here, we’re all fast asleep #Caturday

Poetry in motion: the most joyous four hours I’ve ever spent on a train | Adrian Chiles The plug sockets may not work and there isn’t a trolley service, but the Heart of Wales Line is a friendly, bustling, beautiful treat, writes Adrian Chiles

“I was taking the slow train and enjoying every moment. Estuaries, rivers, towns as pretty as their names… rolling farmland steepening into hills and forests…”

It’s oh so quiet…

Out of the wind, the
unexpected warmth feels like,
a gift, an embrace

❄️ We’re in the middle of those bleak midwinter days when the sun sets earlier than any other time of year
🙏🏻 But there is hope
⚖️ Today is the tipping point
🕰️ From now on, slowly at first, the sunset time WILL become later and the light will come back
🌅 Every day from now until the end of June

I’ll be sat there waiting with you 🤷🏻‍♂️

One of the upsides to this time of year - seeing the sun rise 🌅

I have been saying this to my applicants recently. I tell them to be as human as possible when they write their applications. Let me hear your voice, say things an AI wouldn't say.

A small white cottage sits at the edge of a small loch. It is surrounded by a small area of green grazing land. Behind it there are rocky hills. It looks peaceful.

This is my favourite place in the world. It’s just over half an hour’s walk from the nearest road, which itself is a 45 minute, single track dead end

Every time I’ve been here, I’ve watched a golden eagle soar above my head. It’s magic

This is just a phone shot, but still evokes calm for me 🧡
