Class and prejudice are both still very real in the UK in the 21st century. @WorkingClassFrs apple.news/Ao5naNexSSHuVg…
Hi @SFHUK. Why is a degree an essential requirement for your Individual Giving Manager and Trusts & Grants Manager roles? What will graduates bring to these roles that nobody else could possibly offer?
“I’ve heard colleagues talk down about working class people (service users) during meetings and judging them based on where they come from” workingclassfundraisers.co.uk/about/
“I’m so, so tired after only a few years of fundraising. I really need a new job but they all seem to want people with a network with deep pockets. I’m strongly considering leaving the charity sector after 13 years" Sound familiar? workingclassfundraisers.co.uk/about/
“My colleagues talk about working class people as if Little Britain was a documentary." workingclassfundraisers.co.uk/about/
@CharityComms @SSAFA Hi @SSAFA & @CharityComms - why is a degree desirable for this role? Or, more importantly, why do you believe non-grads are less desirable for this role? Especially as veterans are far less likely to have a degree than the general population (about 20% of veterans have a degree)

Thank you to everyone who's got in touch and offered to help get this group off the ground ✊ I didn't expect close to 300 followers and dozens of messages from a single tweet yesterday but there's obviously a MASSIVE need for this group. I'll be in touch ASAP 🙌
