Hello!

How are you doing, <<First Name>>? Welcome to the third email newsletter of the Autumn term! As ever, in here you should find lots of blogs, links, news stories and event write-ups for you to chew on, think about and keep for later, if you find them useful. This one is all about data!

Please do pass it on to colleagues if it might help them. And if you're reading this because you've been forwarded it, please do sign up for the next one here.

“Understand your data and what it is telling you!”

I attended the excellent Fundraising Everywhere’s Members Conference last month. In this piece you’ll find a few notes from one of the sessions, but I warmly recommend that you join as a member, because my notes barely scratch the surface of the brilliant content on offer. My notes are from the first session in Room 1 – “Benchmarking: What the Data is Telling Us”.

My notes are in this article.
