My wife - known to some simply as Vanessa - proudly holds the job title of Head of Yorkshire and Humber region for the Big Lottery Fund (BIG).
It is a job she enjoys and it is an organisation which does lots of excellent work and helps countless individuals and groups in all sorts of worthy ways.
BIG's latest idea is to use £1 million of its own money to promote a series of "lunch-ins" across the country "to bring millions of neighbours together." All good stuff.

Now, in order to publicise ambitious and imaginative ventures such as this and thereby encourage appropriate levels of community participation, it is both obvious and necessary to use the good old power of the media.
Vanessa went for the Yorkshire and Humber "Big Lunch" photocall earlier today in the centre of Leeds and, having just seen the result, I have to say I'm shocked.
I, for one, didn't know she could play the guitar.
Having fun at The Big Lunch in Briggate, Leeds, as they sit on a 3D artwork by American artist Kurt Wenner, are left to right, Emily Partridge of the Eden Project, Matt Tamplin, Ben Conway, Vanessa White of the Big Lottery Fund, and Tony Wright, who took part in the 2009 Big Lunch.
