Thanks to all those who joined us for the Midlands #IAFmeetup today. We're planning an in person meet-up with skill share and mini-workshops on 8 November in Birmingham - more details soon! #Facilitation meetup.com/iaf-facilitato…

This looks like useful training for any #smallcharity #charity struggling to know where to start with #fundraising. It's always good to have a plan!

Thanks [email protected] for doing Lego with us last night at the South West #IAFmeetup in Bristol! Can anyone guess what these are all about? Great to meet you in person Kate Monkhouse and chat #facilitation and more.

Some good tips in here for different ways of working as a team at a #smallcharity, but wondering how #agileworking fits with project funding - how can feedback and flexibility be built into projects from the start? Answers on a postcard

Car traffic is bad for our health, our planet, and our communities. Our roads don't just need cleaner cars, they need fewer cars.📉 It’s #WorldCarFreeDay tomorrow – could you leave the car at home and try walking or cycling your local trips instead?

Enjoyed working with all the brilliant panel members on this last year - and so lovely when things you've worked on make a difference 🙂

📢To be clear (again): charities are allowed to campaign to influence policies that further their charitable purpose. This is legal, legitimate, & for some, it will be the best & most effective way to achieve their aims as an organisation. thirdsector.co.uk/ex-minister-te…

Come along and join us at one of our facilitation week meet ups whatever your connection to facilitation is, all are welcome
