Charity comms teams: What’s your biggest cyber security worry? Data breaches? Phishing emails? Keeping volunteers trained up? We’ve written a guide to help 👉 www.pooka.co/cyber-securi... #CyberSecurityMonth #DigitalForGood

Friday question for comms brains: If you had 5 mins with your board, what’s the one thing you’d want them to understand about your website? 🐇 No pressure to reply — but if you do, know you’re not alone.

Almost four in five charity leaders from 27 countries are warning that demand for their support has increased over the last year, according to a report by Charities Aid Foundation (CAF). www.charitytimes.com/ct/Four-in-f...

Every online action happens through a site or app. If they’re inaccessible, digital inclusion fails. @SCVO.scot’s roadmap says it’s time for all of us to take responsibility 🐇

Ever tried to update a charity website and thought, “Why is this harder than making tea in the dark?” ☕🐇 That’s why we pulled together a guide for boards — all about why WordPress is the practical, people-first choice for charities. Have a skim here: www.pooka.co/wordpress-fo...

🐇✨ Save your spot! The Scottish CiviCRM Meet Up is back on Thursday 9th October, 3pm at The Melting Pot, Edinburgh (and online). 👇See thread for all the details

Our friends at @takeoneaction.bsky.social kick off their festival in Edinburgh this week. See the programme at www.takeoneaction.org.uk

Just set up on BlueSky? Don’t know who to follow? We’ve made it easier: 3 Starter Packs for the charity, third + public sectors in the UK. Hop in 📺https://go.bsky.app/8bZQaBc #DigitalForGood

🤔Charity comms folks: are you setting up on BlueSky yet? We wrote a guide with the things we wish we’d known at the start → www.pooka.co/bluesky-for-...

Paul caught this on video: us swapping the X logo for BlueSky on our site. It’s a small act with a big meaning: stories deserve platforms that fit their values. Links back to our Monday blog on leaving X + Wednesday’s @charitycomms.bsky.social piece on why platform is part of storytelling strategy.

We put @itc-arts.bsky.social’s WordPress and CiviCRM show on the road. Let them do the same with your tour! #theatre #wordpress #civicrm

A thought provoking read from our friends at Green Alliance.

Spotted this great piece from @charitycomms.bsky.social on why platform is as important as story. This is an important step: if your stories aren’t reaching people in the right place, they’re not reaching at all. 👉 charitycomms.org.uk/storytelling-strategy-arriving-at-the-right-platform

For years, Twitter was the town square for charities. Now, X feels more like a shouting match in a badly lit alley. 🚪 Charities are walking away. 📉 Engagement has tanked. 🤖 Bots are everywhere. 🌱 Bluesky is booming (33M+ users).

🐇 Save the date! The 2nd Scottish CiviCRM Meet Up is set for Thursday 9th October at 3pm. Agenda + sign-up coming soon - for now, mark it down and spread the word. #CiviCRM #DigitalForGood

It’s not just smaller charities using WordPress. 👀 BBC Children in Need run their main website on it: www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk #CharityTech #NonProfitsUK

Heritage isn’t just what we see - it’s what we smell. 👃 AI could finally make “Smell-O-Vision” real, opening new sensory doors for museums + archives. Imagine online tours that carry the scent of old wood, stone, or books. Fascinating read from The Spoon: thespoon.tech/the-idea-of-...

The final chapter in the Our Town Stories #Edinburgh900 series looking at the city’s history over the past 900 years explores Edinburgh a City of Diversity, celebrating the city’s multicultural landscape and the 2050 City Vision for a diverse and vibrant future for the cityhttps://zurl.co/fqzfa

Not everyone can walk through the doors on #DoorsOpenDay. That’s why #digitalheritage matters. It keeps stories accessible long after the gates close. From virtual tours to community archives, here’s how digital extends heritage beyond the walls: www.pooka.co/digital-heri... #OpenSourceForGood

We’ve learned that “future-proof” isn’t about predicting the tech. It’s about knowing your people, their needs, and building something that grows with them. The rest? That’s just code. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAra... #EthicalDesign #CharityDigital #PookaAndCo

💌 Every email has a carbon cost. Long threads = more storage, more energy, more emissions. At Pooka & Co, we keep it short—and sometimes, we don’t reply at all 😜. It’s not rude. It’s responsible. #EthicalTech #DigitalSustainability #GreenWeb
