A joy (despite the rain) to come back to the Charteris Centre for a HeartEdge and Church of Scotland conference: "Abundant Churches - Creative, Missional, and Sustainable". Looking forward to a great day of learning and networking.

Whether you're a fan of musical theatre or not, you absolutely need to see this show. Not cos I'm in it - that's the last reason to come! But because it is simply stunning. It's probably the best, and certainly the most powerful, piece of theatre I've ever been involved with.

I'm starting an 8 session course this evening to back up some of the work I'm doing. It's on Listening in Mission. This is one of the opening quotes that has set the scene brilliantly. Always worth remembering this ...

Off to the Scottish Fundraising Conference for a couple of days, where I help look after the conference volunteers as well as learning loads and this year, delivering a session on Faith Based Funding. If you're heading to Glasgow for the conference, come and say hi

Be this guy. Get your #tickets for Falkirk Bohemians presentation of Jesus Christ Superstar before it's too late.
The end of October may seem far enough away just now (unless you're rehearsing the show) but you really don't want to miss out. Drop me a message

Great conversation this morning with a potential client church. Shame the skies aren't blue but still a great looking place.

Awesome work from @fhscreative.bsky.social @dramaqueentait.bsky.social etc in the @falkirkhighschool.bsky.social show tonight. A truly amazing performance on and off the stage. So many talents on show-and not just the dramatic ones. Something for the whole school to be proud of. Here's to next year!

Back here again today. It's not all glamour though. I'm blitzing through a National Lottery Heritage Fund application form so will be mostly either staring at the laptop or out of the window!

A new series on here, starting with a quote from the amazing Richard Frazer which wonderfully fits with the work I'm blessed to be doing.

One of the many privileges of my work is to truly immerse myself with what a client is doing. With churches, that means attending their services, and sometimes, I get the chance to go one step further.

Good morning from Edinburgh. It's a lovely sunny day so let's spend it indoors helping present Financial Sustainability Training with the Church of Scotland!

At last nights #socialenterprise cross party group meeting at the Scottish Parliament, I raised the issue of new community groups struggle to access bank accounts as they don't fit the model. If we're really serious about communities taking on assets, the #banking sector needs to catch up quickly

Right, let's sort this place out 😉
