Have a butchers at pages 3 & 4. I've helped GCVS put together a digital media training programme for 2012, aided by various #BeGoodBeSocial regulars:


  • Writing for the web - Content strategistic, copywriter and keen cyclist Ann Cook will be hosting this workshop exploring blogs, newsletters, content strategy and more.

 

  • Social media basics - I'll be hosting this one, you'll hear from some people making real headway with social media in the Scottish third sector throughout the day.

 

  • Using Twitter and Facebook for your organisation - I'll be joined by Martin Keane, Social Media Strategist with Third Sector Lab and digital chap for SCIAF for this one.

 

  • Measuring your online success - This workshop will be hosted by Conrad Rossouw of Shelter Scotland. He'll be giving solid practical advice on how you can measure your impact online.

 

  • Online fundraising - This one will be hosted by Sara Thomas, fundraiser with MND Scotland. She'll be haring her experiences of using online fundraising tools  within MND Scotland.

 

  • Video for the web - #BeGoodBeSocial video expert Erin Maguire will take workshop attendees through the process of planning, shooting, editing and uploading a video from scratch.

Booking details are included in the PDF above.

Help give a child a Xmas to remember

 

Shelter Scotland have 73 boys and girls - aged from 6 months to 16 years - at their South Lanarkshire services who might not get a present this year.

Does your house have any art supplies no longer being used? Or a Ben 10 action toy needing a new home? Or when Xmas shopping you could maybe pick up something extra to make a child's Christmas one they'll never forget.

Donations can be made to the families project at the Blantyre office - in person or via post (why not pay Amazon a wee visit).

I'll be sending a toy to the Blantyre project this week, I'd urge everyone who follows me on twitter to do the same. Lets make it a really special Christmas.
