After several conversations this week with friends running charities all increasingly frustrated by the system and constantly chasing funding... reminded me about some people doing things differently.. here's Sam Conniff and his Ted talk on how we maybe ought to #BeMorePirate 😃 ☠️ #charity #UKCharity #Anarchism #ABCD #SamConniff https://youtu.be/yYlTJFqVd08

Now I'm properly off the bird site..want to try and find #UKCharity #ABCD #PublicLivingRoom folk on here...but feels many haven't moved over yet. I run Settle Community and Business Hub in #NorthYorkshire which is much smaller but based on #ImpactHub model and would love to connect with others doing similar stuff.
