October 2015

Dear <<First Name>>

Welcome to our latest newsletter - as ever, it's packed full of of free tips, news, links and blogs, which I hope you find useful. Keep reading for details on how to win a little competition!

Where we've been and what we've been up to
Since the last newsletter we've mainly been working in Greater London. We've worked with a wide range of organisations, which has been great. A particular highlight has been giving the keynote presentation at Hounslow Funders Fair, and I'm looking forward to chairing a distinguished panel at this CIM event at JustGiving on 22 October: How social media is disrupting marketing - and what you can do about it. Book now! 

On the Blog

The 3rd Sector Mission Control blog continues to be widely read. Here are some recent posts:

• What Blue Peter taught me about fundraising campaigns
• Are we getting it right? And who is? I Wish I'd Thought of That 2015
• 'You're working where?'
• 'Part of who I am!' - what charities can learn from parkrun
• It's about the journey
• New balls please!

What we've been reading

Follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook for many more stories, but here's a few interesting things that have caught our eye lately:

• Feel the digital fear - and do it anyway (Zoe Amar)
• Why good stewardship is worth investing in (Rachel Beer)
• Let's reclaim the C-word (Matthew Sherrington)
• Why most of what's written about charities is total rubbish (Ben Wittenberg)

And if you are on LinkedIn, and like to read good writing about charities, do join the Charity Blogs group. 

Let's stay in touch

So here's the competition! To win a free cuppa, and a chat with me, just reply with the answer to this question: what did I do to earn that nice purple T-shirt? The answer is within one of the blogs above. Or just click reply anyway, and let's stay in touch.
