Fundraising, innovation, culture and supporter experience. Often all at the same time.

And dogs. Mainly mine.

Me, but peas
After five years of trying and failing I have surrendered. I will no longer be attempting to grow onions in my garden.

What can leaders do to shift the mindset he is asked.... Stop boring people to death. What do you want to and by when explain it in a breathtaking, exciting way. And show them how investment in fundraising creates more value for services than direct investment in the service #DXS2025

The human truth that inspired Dan's large ambituous fundraising events: "People are tired of being asked to do the absolute least for an issue that absolutely broke their heart. They want to do the most." #DXS2025

A conference that spends a great deal of time ensuring there is excellent food is instantly a win for me #DXS2025 @fundraiseup.bsky.social

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I got quite emotional reading this article about these three incredible men. The drama and emotion of cycling lives on and off the bike.

Lying here, breathing and looking at the sky while the wind blows. Grey and chilly. And calming.

I have many conflicting feelings about the Drag Race UK finale. And that's all I'll say about that. Other than I think the runner up is going to win in other ways...

Sometimes the dog decides if I should be relaxing or not. She has pinned me in so I'm going nowhere

Bit snowy here today. We've decided indoors is the best place to be
