All credit to @SaxtonJoe for all the time and experience he has put into making these thoughts on charity strategic planning available free to the whole sector.
Last year I wrote 10 blogs about strategy in charities, read over 120 strategies, showcased 12 examples of great ones, and set out the joys & pitfalls of doing strategy. This is now in a FREE report on charity strategy called 'Where are we going?': https://t.co/XZegWHqv6f
#hoolie23 Lots of talk rightly about which Hebridean Islands were represented at the Hydro last night. My wife and I came up from the Isle of Wight in the Deep South, to show Island solidarity! What a great night. Many thanks @Hebridean_Baker@juliefowlis and all performers.
Fantastic and passionate critique from @dhnnjyn on the UK govt’s shameful refugee policies. Important point that he notes - UK helped write the refugee convention and for years underpinned the global refugee system…now undermining it instead.

@mara_yamauchi Very well said Mara. If only the world had paid more attention to Norman‘s warnings and advice for action all those years ago. His insightful analysis and brilliant photographs will always endure.

Well worth reading this balanced and insightful assessment by @caronlb of yesterday’s charity support package announced by the Chancellor. So elegantly written too - which adds to its impact. #EveryDayCounts
🙏 @PaulPolman for highlighting critical role civil society will play in global #COVID19 humanitarian response. As you say, it is tragic that many #NGOs "are being forced to down tools, precisely when we need them most."

@TaniaMason Well @TaniaMason , every creative writer can only flourish with an understanding and supportive editor! Great news that the insightful @balgobinthinks will now take the back page to even greater heights.
@SarahHatstand A wonderful charity with a vital role is about to benefit from the leadership of a truly outstanding individual. Very best wishes Sarah. You will be fantastic in this role.
This article by @AndrewHindCB comprehensively refutes the case made by media and the Charity Commission against Oxfam’s leadership who appear to have responded promptly to address the unacceptable behaviour of staff in Haiti https://t.co/WwSGBYEcPs
