Thinking about future jobs and where to go, and I think #ThirdSector is really my best option for achieving good things that make a difference.

Not all third sector bodies are created equally for sure, but I think where I currently work has a heart and soul.

There's also a charity near my home with a heart and soul of a different kind.

This is where the two parts of my Mastodon handle (Coding Gardener) fit together. It's a nice dichotomy with balance.

If you're self-employed, freelance or in the third sector, obviously there's no #TradeUnion for you, right?

My #union, Community, has a broad mix of people employed in traditional and new industries, as well as #freelance, #SelfEmployed and #ThirdSector workers who want the security and support that only being a part of a union can bring.

Pink News: ChangeOut CEO Lucy Caldicott says charity sector can have a ‘blind spot’ when it comes to diversity https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/04/26/changeout-lucy-caldicott-lesbian-visibility-third-sector/ #LGBT #LGBTQ #Trans #Lesbian #2SLGBTQ #lesbianvisibilityweek #thirdsector #diversity #Business #Careers

In a similar vein to my last post, this news is significant.

#Charity staff at Shelter unionised and negotiated a 7% pay rise + one off £1250 payment.

Now let’s say it once more… ✨JOIN A UNION ✨

All provision of labour must be valued, be it for social ‘good’ or not.

This articulates the moral conundrum of working in the third sector. All it’s missing is an intersectional critique of trustee influence on labour rights, activism, and service provision alike.

💭 ‘…charity acts as a “moral safety valve” that “normalises destitution and legitimates personal generosity as a response to major social and economic dislocation”.’

Hello there, just moved here from the place where we are not allowed to mention this place. 😆

An #introduction to say hello. I'll likely be mostly posting about my hobbies of #food #plants #gardens #NaturalScience and my work in #DigitalInclusion for #ThirdSector in #Scotland

I know week notes are the typical format, but I’ve never been able to get into the habit. So instead, I’ve written year notes: a reflection on and round-up of my work in 2022.

The big takeways? I found my niche, walked an interesting line between content and service design, learnt to trust the process but reject the binary, and got a whole new perspective on my work when I accessed charity services myself.

@Sheril Good morning from the UK.

I've joined the #twittermigration today following the banning of journalists by #SpaceKaren.

My main reason for joining is to discuss #running and #parkrun but I'm also interested in #UKPolitcs #socialdevelopment #thirdsector and other related themes. I work as a #projectmanager #projectmanagement so would love to connect to others in the same field.

Calling charity and NFP folks!!

So who's on Mastodon and working at/with charities and non-profits?

#charities #nonprofits #charitysector #thirdsector #nfptweetup #socialgood

I'm interested in finding some spaces where I can talk to others about fundraising for charities and the data behind charitable giving. Does anyone have any recommendations?
