[Vanessa Longley @VanessaLongley]

Am going to exploit this (very temporary) spotlight: anyone want some mentoring from me? I have 1 gap available - I don’t charge - you just need to be a fundraiser who doesn’t get it free through work…and willing to put up with my slightly odd metaphors. References available!

[Vic Langer @viclanger]

Some incredibly interesting insights here from Dan Fran into local grassroots organisations especially around governance, funding and risk. Well worth the read!

[Leila Billing @leilabilling]

Hello friends - does anyone have a good example of a wellbeing policy they'd be willing to share with me? Preferably one that takes a feminist lens to understanding wellbeing? I'd be so grateful for any signposting! Thank you x

[Future Leaders Network @FutureVCSE]

Interesting findings from the latest @SMKcampaigners sector survey.

Does leadership of orgs feel more difficult in the changing political landscape, does it put people off wanting to step up in future? Or does it unlock more determination?

Would love to hear reflections 👂🏻

[Sheila McKechnie Foundation (SMK) @SMKcampaigners]

The results of the #SMKSurvey2021 in @guardian today. It looks like political attempts to suppress campaigning are backfiring, as 30% report they are MORE determined to speak up than a year ago. #Democracy @patrickjbutler https://t.co/dLrLKgxMlI

[Holly Cameron @_hollycameron]

Interesting read! Especially working in a sector fuelled by passion… turns out there’s two kinds of passion and one doesn’t lend itself well to certain jobs in particular. https://t.co/4drrATPu3f

[Holly Cameron @_hollycameron]

This looks like such a fascinating and worthwhile event - so much so I will be tuning in from my mat leave!

[Future Leaders Network @FutureVCSE]

It’s here!

Hopefully the brilliant work of @beckyhewitt01 and the sector working group can drive some real momentum behind flexible working.

We’ll be keeping our 👀 peeled!

[ACEVO @ACEVO]

It’s #TimeToFlex! Today, @acevo and @ncvo launch a new report to encourage #VoluntarySector organisations to embrace flexible working https://t.co/HlDlcZNAVW

As we’ve had a lot of new followers recently we thought we’d re-share this little thread about who’s behind the FLN & give a heads up that we’ll soon be looking to bring some more people onboard to run it with us!

Interested? 👀 for our next email update https://t.co/xHvJhoWkoa

[Future Leaders Network @FutureVCSE]
