I'm used to speaking to 'senior stakeholders' at the charities I partner with. But I might take a bit of getting used to because I'm no fan of jargon and I like trying to get to the heart of something, rather than name-checking the buzzwords of the day. I don't ask them where they'd like to see their charity in 20 years time. I ask them what they might do with the gift of a magic wand that bestows unlimited money and resources. I don't ask them to rationalise competing messages and priorities. I ask them what ideas we could 'put in the bin'. I don't ask about decision-making processes. I ask how decisions will get made so we don't spend our lives on metaphorical mini roundabouts. (I'm not a fan of mini roundabout decision-making.) And the plain speaking produces really interesting answers in return. It gives permission for bolder conversations. It gives space for more distinct propositions. It opens a path for the really key things to 'float to the top', rather than sink to the bottom in jargon land. Let me know if you want to find out more.

Saying ‘Yes to the Mess’- The Community Navigator 🗺️ Charity Consultancy Services🧭 - supporting organisations to make visions a reality, maximise impact & change lives! [email protected] 07973864454
🤔 Charity leaders – do you know why your charity exists... what impact you are making? .....Of course you do you, you live and breathe it everyday. But what about your staff? Your volunteers? Your beneficiaries? What processes, cultures, ways or working or systems are holding you back? I have seen too many charities THINK they know what's working well and what isn't, but in reality this isn't the case..... 💚 Remember you cannot expect to deliver the most impactful services for your beneficiaries if your culture isn't living and breathing it 💙 You'll never keep the money coming in if you cannot measure your fundraising performance 🩶 Delivery of your strategic goals will always run adrift if your teams are not clear on the objectives that deliver them! So grab yourself a brew and take the Charity Impact Review Quiz, it only takes 5-10 minutes to complete and your FREE personalised report will help you to understand how you are delivering your vision and how to improve it! https://buff.ly/3SEyQQk

This week is the #BigGive where donations made to participating charities will be doubled! We have been working with the brilliant chaity PANS PANDAS UK to create a series of films for their campaign. Here is one of the films that we co-created with the families connected to the organisation. Here is what we did: 1. Held an online session with several families talking about the shared message that they wanted to be communicated in the campaign. We explained very clearly how and where the films would be shared, as well as the difference they would make. 2. Taught them the practical skills on how to capture content that would bring this messaging to life in an authentic way. 3. Made it easy to send over their footage, giving feedback where needed. 4. Edited together the films based on the groups messaging. 5. Sent the films for approval from the families. 6. Launched with their support. If you can, please give to PANS PANDAS to help families living with these life-changing conditions. https://bit.ly/3QHMD6Z

Looking for my next role to have impact on the charity sector. Former CEO at Getting On Board, Trustee of the National Migraine Centre.
What are the small things which could revolutionise the charity board room? How about: 🙂 Paying trustee out-of-pocket expenses (e.g. travel to meetings) as standard 🙂 Recruiting trustees openly 🙂 The expectation that trustees should get some training (and then helping them to get it) 🙂 Good inductions 🙂 Having trustee terms and using them religiously 🙂 Chairs equipping excellent contributions from trustees 🙂 Positively welcoming debate Common sense? But are they common practice...? For those interested in this topic, we have a free webinar on Monday 24th June for Small Charities Week to discuss the small changes which might make the difference between an engaged and effective board and one which, well, isn't... Jumara Stone, Shaminder Rai and Catherine Hemingway will talk about the changes they made on their boards, and me, Colette Harrison and Laura Lowther will talk about how small changes can make boards (and volunteering as a trustee) more interesting, engaging and inclusive. Event details in the comments.
