Being a B Corp is a big deal, it's difficult to achieve and it means our purpose is set in stone, right to our core (or at least Companies House).... so it's lovely to be able to celebrate along this B Corp month!

[Open I B Corp @LifeAtOpen]

#WeGoBeyond for our sector because we believe charities should work with businesses that put people and planet first.

This #BCorpMonth we'll be sharing our journey so far - and the exciting things we're yet to do.

Deffo one of the things I'm most proud of doing since changing roles @LifeAtOpen a couple of years ago: https://t.co/MMypyqtozs

Is twitter in the least bit interested in a tune I just finished? I guess I'll see.

With the festive season upon us, we spoke to a group of charity donors to find out what giving at Christmas means to them.

You'll hear from them every day 'til Christmas in our very own advent calendar.

A big cheers to all our clients who have made 2022 so much brighter! ⭐

Entertained that Meta appear to be going in hard for town planners and skateboard designers with their new Quest Pro.

@WayneTheMurray I've found that call it 'gambling' to help differentiate it from 'gaming' (on consoles or pc) does a lot to frame it as what it is. Calling it 'gaming' sanitised it, so calling it 'gambling' says it clearly. Allowing space for a complete, clear debate

@WayneTheMurray Indeed. What was worse was after enthusiastically selling them into the children their subsequent disappointment in me. Important life lesson right there!

For many many years this video has brought me great joy. I share it every so often. Today is one of those days. https://t.co/hrj9JgPzAW

This is very, very exciting...

[Open I B Corp @LifeAtOpen]

We’re proud and hugely excited to announce that @oxfamgb has appointed Open to work with them on a new model of supporter engagement – and to help deliver their mission of a radically better world.

Watch this space - we will keep you posted!

13 years in the making... we're ship shape and ready to do interesting stuff...

[Open I B Corp @LifeAtOpen]

We are going to grow the market for UK charities by inspiring new people to give in new ways.

I've told my children that moving into Tier 4 means we have to now wear fancy dress and face paint. Will I get away with it?

[Mark Foster @fasterfoster]

Ever fancied taking part in @LifeAtOpen's Giveathon? Each year all of our people have a £1,000 to give to charity. Well this Xmas you could! Join our joyous Wall and you'll be entered into a draw that could mean choose who to give a grand to! https://t.co/WfKHA0BVvp
