Important film based on some quality research on yet another tough aspect of working in the NHS. Thanks @DrJohannaSpiers for sharing.

@robin_peake Agree with peeps saying it's about how the donors see themselves. That's why I'd always use the word "philanthropy" rather than "high value" or "major donor" as even people gifting £££££s don't always see themselves as warranting the HV or MD label.

I've cast off the comfort of permanent employment to leap into freelance consultancy😄From here on in I will be embodying my "Get Sh*t Done" mug doing cool strategic delivery projects and facilitating change for over-stretched charity leaders. Let's do this!

@lauraannebeth I dream of the day when we wake up to skills > location, and being good enough to be headhunted equates to being good enough to be offered the role remotely.

@Pawsome_Players I love what you guys are doing in the gaming space.

@InnovationMatt Honestly! For as long as charities have existed, community-based teams have been proving there's no need to be keeping a seat warm in an office to be awesome for your beneficiaries. So disappointing to see charity leadership continue to exclude nationwide candidates.

Feeling galvanised by the generous sharing and support at @CIOFtweets Convention. As volunteer chair of the events fundraising group I'm committed to making our calendar of professional networking and support events as accessible as possible in terms of price and location.

Great perspective from @tijanatamburic at @CIOFtweets Convention on the effectiveness of small nuggets of storytelling that invite questions over cramming info into an elevator pitch. #CIOFFC

It's thankfully incredibly unusual for someone to lose their life taking part in a charity challenge. But that makes it no less tragic and shocking for all involved.

[British Heart Foundation @TheBHF]

With a heavy heart we share this news. Our team do not have any more information right now but please do keep their family and friends in your thoughts.

[Sophie Randles-Dunkley @FundraisingRd]

@bexxstarr Congratulations!

Long distance commuting: 2 hours' blissful focus time undistracted by the internet.
Also long distance commuting: unreasonably irritated by people are chatting loudly in the Quiet Carriage.

Food production is #No1 driver of biodiversity loss....says Professor Alexandre Antonelli from @kewgardens - I'd add mainly from animal agriculture..... #MycoSummit @vegsoc
