Chairs and CEOs have different, but equally important roles to play within an organisation and it's important the two have a functioning relationship. Our Dynamic Duo workshop on Tuesday 11th October, is designed to get the most out of this partnership. acevocommunity.force.com/s/c…

Only 3% of trustees are under 30 and having younger trustees as part of the board is vital to increasing board diversity. Our event on Tuesday 18th October with the @YoungTrustees movement, will highlight the many benefits of recruiting younger trustees. associationofchairs.org.uk/e…

After 3 wonderful years at @CIOFtweets , I’m moving on to start up a business with my wife - which certainly wasn’t in my career plan! The closing date for applications for the role I’m vacating is this Thurs (11th Feb).
5. Finally, you’ll report into the amazing @piterk68 who is supportive and enabling, as well as being supported by a fantastic group of trustees, senior leaders in the organisation and our passionate volunteers
6. If you’d like to apply, then please do so by this Thursday! You can apply using this link bit.ly/3suewTe. The more applications we receive from under-represented groups the better, and feel free to DM me if you have any questions.
3. After joining from outside the sector at the age of 32, I’ve found the role very rewarding for my own personal development. The breadth of the role means you’ll be exposed to critical areas of work to support volunteers, members, partners, and learners.
The #IoFAcademy team are committed to supporting all fundraisers with their professional development virtually. Our amazing trainers and faculty will be ensuring those who attend get the knowledge and skills required to fundraise during this difficult time. We’re here for you.
(1/5) More than ever fundraisers need to stay connected, learn new skills and share their experiences.
To support you in this, we're working with leading specialists to deliver a new programme of online training. See what's coming up here: bit.ly/2PqkXVn

Our fantastic fundraising agencies will be needed more than ever when this is over, so I would implore charities to empathise with their circumstances and provide appropriate support if they need it. We’ll all get through this if we keep working together #publicfundraising
The IoF and @FundrRegulator advise all charities to reflect seriously on whether to continue public fundraising due to the increased health risk. Read our full statement here: bit.ly/2IWqfnZ #COVID19

This is really sad, knowing the impact it’s likely to have on charities, our fundraising agencies & their staff.
We were advised by our Board, charity & agency members to inform the decision
Public fundraising can have a great future - but we need to get through this together
