the panel
@Rhodri_H_Davies: Continuity is reassuring. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants. Good to know smart people before us have tackled similar issues. Can inform our thinking today. Inspiring historical examples show fundraising done well.

What do we mean by strategy?
You have a vision
Start with your diagnosis
Make a clear plan

Why... what... how.

Sarah Fitzgerald O'Connor, Open Sarah presenting Start with evidence and insight

"Super excited for two-point-oh!"

I'm in position for #BAMEOnline hosted by the magnificent @MarthaAwojobi & @Camalamalamz. Will pop my notes in this thread. Last year's conference was superb, and this promises to be just as good. Watch it (back) here:

Martha and Cam "I hope everybody knows that we're not BAME people. It's lazy & reductive."
@MarthaAwojobi & @Camalamalamz address "the elephant in the room".

Today's values : anti-racism, bravery, creativity & joy. Solutions to racism need to be just as creative as racism itself.

Always think about the very end when you start work on your film. Who's watching? What do you want them to do? What are the ideal outcomes?

I'm back at the @CIOFSupporterXP #SupporterExperience conference for a session on designing digital donor experiences, with Athar Abibi @TheBHF, @RobAlcroft Nana Crawford @BritishRedCross, Gavin McDonald, Vicky Urquhart @MindCharity.
(thread) Image "We're in there all the time. It's a lovely place to be. It's a highlight of everyone's workday, to go in & drop GIFs"

Athar talks about @TheBHF moving their Dechox campaign to Facebook groups. There's been much more engagement as a result.

Always good to start a session by talking about the weather - it's certainly a good metaphor for how quickly things are changing right now!

"We learned that we already knew quite a lot about our supporters. They're incredibly engaged already. We were open and hones, talked about how the pandemic affected us. We sent personalised comms on how they could help."

Hi I'm Nikki, and I'm a massive loser"
I'm here at #PizzaForLosers a new event hosted by @CharityNikki sharing and learning from our charity sector failures. Also here for the pizza, of course.
(Thread) "We are conditioned to talk about our success by social media and on the make believe world of our CVs. We don't talk about our gaps in employment, our failures or our mental health. It's not healthy."

First up at #PizzaForLosers is @henryrowling of @weareflyingcars.
