Dear <<First Name>>

Welcome to the latest 3rd Sector Mission Control newsletter. It's full of blogs, tips, links and stories, and offers a taste of what we've been up to and what we can do. And there's another competition! Keep reading for details on how to win a free cuppa.

Where we've been
In the last few months we've mainly been based in London and St Albans with a few trips further afield to places like Peterborough and Stafford. As ever, it's great to have been working with such a wide range of organisations.

The 3rd Sector Mission Control blog continues to be widely read, with thousands of views. This is exciting and also a little strange! Here are some of the recent ones:

• 10 tips - how to write blogs that people will read
• WWND? 7 lessons from a great manager
• Fundraiser on the dance floor! Charity tips inspired by a love of dancing
• Managing staff - which box will you put them in?
• Sorry that you trod on my toe! 5 lessons from my 1st ever job
• For the love of St Pancras

Let's stay in touch

And now for the competition! Well done on reading this far, but have you read the blogs? To win a free cup of coffee or tea (with me), please reply and answer the following question: which singer songwriter will I one day write a blog about? If you don't know the answer to this, but fancy meeting up for a chat anyway, please do reply to this email or call me and we'll arrange it.
