Campaign for Better Transport and Fossil Free Football have teamed up to create a new #PremierLeague trophy which will be ironically awarded to teams for their ‘outstanding contributions to football’s #carbonfootprint’. The Black Boot Trophy aims to raise awareness of the fact that over half of Premiership teams fly to domestic away games and to try and shame them into stopping. Research carried out last year revealed that Premier League clubs took 80% of their journeys by plane. The average journey time was 42 minutes, with the shortest flight just 27 minutes. Domestic flights create 246g of #CO2 per passenger kilometre travelled and cause seven times more emissions than rail travel. Michael Solomon Williams from the transport charity said: ‘Domestic flights are simply bad news for the planet, especially when the same journey could be taken by train or coach. ‘Changing the way we travel is one of the most effective things we can do to reduce #carbonemissions. #Footballclubs should be leading the way and playing a bigger role in our fight against #climatechange.” Peter Crisp from Fossil Free Football said that ‘football relies on a safe climate but is already threatened by more #extremeweather as the world heats up. Top clubs need to show which side they’re on when it comes to #fossilfuel #pollution and that means acknowledging that short haul #flights can’t be part of the game in 2024’. The campaign will encourage teams to start taking relatively small journeys by coach or train and teams taking flights which the organisers deem unnecessary will be presented with a Black Boot. Throughout the season, the worst offenders will be called out on both Black Boot’s  X account and their website, with ‘Player of the Season’, ‘Man of the Match’, and ‘Team of the Month’ awards up for grabs.  Fans are being asked to keep an eye out for players’ and clubs’ social feeds, and let Black Boot know whenever they spot something. 🔻🔻🔻 Click/tap image below to see video on YouTube 🔻🔻🔻

It’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day and lose sight of the bigger picture, especially when work is busy. Following the update of our purpose, ambition and values to better reflect our ambitions, in the last couple of weeks Hinckley & Rugby staff have taken time out to participate in interactive workshops. We wanted to ensure everyone in our organisation knows exactly what we’re working towards as a truly customer-centric building society, focused on our key values of Engage, Excellence, Efficiency, Ethical and Expertise. ✨ We are now working on practical processes to ensure that these important sessions aren’t just a flash in the pan, and our values and purpose remain a constant focus in every decision we make. 💛 #Values

It's true. After over seven years and countless memories made, it's time for me to cycle out of my leadership positions within the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP Global) & the Association of Fundraising Professionals - New York City Chapter (AFP-NYC). Taking a step back from AFP is proving to be an emotional journey, intertwined with threads of bittersweet sentiments. Saying goodbye (see you later?) to an organization that has become a part of my identity is not easy. Stepping down means leaving behind a dedicated team and a cause that has become deeply ingrained in my heart. Celebrating successes, witnessing the growth of individuals within the organization, and contributing to meaningful changes in our industry have fostered a profound sense of fulfillment within me. I am looking at this departure as not an end but a transition—a passing of the baton. Cycling off the Global and NYC boards will offer an opportunity for fresh perspectives and for new minds to invigorate AFP's mission. Cycling off isn't a farewell; it is a culmination of experiences that have shaped not only the organization but also my own growth and perspective. The bittersweet emotions are a testament to the depth of the connections made and the significance of the journey undertaken. In case you need further evidence, take a look at some of my favorite memories below...
