Are you using Eventbrite, Survey Monkey, Mail Chimp and #Spreadsheets for tracking and communicating with your clients? Perhaps it's time to invest in a #CRM like @civicrm to keep it all in once place. Get in touch to find out more gmcvodatabases.org.uk

We will be saying goodbye to @barijohn at the end of the month as he is moving on to pastures new. He has decided that it is time for a new challenge that isn't #remoteworking and is off to improve processes in the food industry.

@bph @allie_nimmons @civicrm We'd definitely second that! Collaborating with a great bunch of people all over the world.

@allie_nimmons @CiviCRM has a fabulous community

@sanc2phied @civicrm @Mailchimp Oh and you can search for providers in your area here civicrm.org/partners-contr…

@sanc2phied @HansenShaylee @wpbot_rt @civicrm @Mailchimp Is there any reason not to use Mosaico which works really well inside CiviCRM? The actual maintainer of MailChimp Sync isn't happy with them. #health-warning" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.civicrm.org/mailchimpsync/…

If you couldn't make it to the CiviCRM Meetup in Manchester or Via Zoom. You can watch the meeting here youtube.com/watch?v=YGAWTX… Apologies for the audio, was in a lovely but busy @EighthDayVeg cafe! Thanks for letting us use your space!

The @theb2wgroup are still running some PowerBI Courses that are free for people who are living OR working in Greater Manchester. Worth a look to help with analysing your data b2wgroup.com/digital-skills…

@Incognito_Emily Probably best checking out CiviCRM Spark then. Can get launched quickly and cheap civicrm.com

@mattnightingale Depending on how many contacts you want there is a hosted CiviCRM solution called CiviCRM Spark civicrm.com that's only $15 per month for unlimited users. Can cancel anytime so worth checking out.

I'm looking for a good way to document all the various ways I interact with people for my nonprofit. Right now, I'm just typing it all into a spreadsheet. Does anyone have a better idea? I'd love something more... useful. Something that tracks dates, times, contact info, content.

Found this really interesting article by @CassieRobinson on What Is Digital. Very useful for understanding the different aspects of Digital in the sector and might help on funding applications. cassierobinson.medium.com/what-were-lear…

Nominate yourself, or someone else, for the @CiviCRM Community Council elections! Nominations close this Friday! civicrm.org/blog/artfulrob…

There's some free training coming up. This is for voluntary and community sector groups in North Manchester and East Manchester. Details here and in the tweet below. Did I mention it's free?!!

Craig, once of this parish, is walking up the middle of the country on Saturday, raising money for @ManchesterMind You can even track him here: live.opentracking.co.uk/ssc2022/

Happy Jubilee Week everyone! Hope you are all having a lovely few days off. We are here up until Wed and then we are off for the weekend. Here's a Databases Meme you might like (probably won't though)

Nonprofits - Join us Wednesday for a virtual’Overview of CiviCRM,’ a CRM software/tool developed for nonprofits! #nptech #nonprofittechnology lnkd.in/gwUVwfPQ

If I’m asked to moderate an in-person panel and I say to the panelists please list your areas of expertise so I can tailor the questions accordingly and then one panelist writes “pretty much everything to be honest” as his area of expertise……in one gif - what’s your reaction?

Well it's been a long week and as it's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek with a theme of #loneliness I thought I would give a shout out to all remote workers who are sitting at home alone! @barijohn wrote this in 2021 and it is still relevant today. linkedin.com/pulse/working-…

#OurManchester is looking for local VCSE sector thoughts on the new batch of funding starting in Autumn.

Well we are having a trip out today to visit the amazing team at @GeorgeHouseTrst to talk about their #CiviCRM setup. Will be nice to see people in 3D again.

Here again virtually. Some really great ideas but lots of challenges to really make New Local work for our communities. #StrongerTogether
