So sad to hear Johnnie Walker has passed away. I had the pleasure to meet him and Tiggy in 2005. A real gentleman and lovely lady. RIP Johnnie.

I thought I’d share this again, as it now has its full complement of 50 brilliant third sector people to follow! (Well, 49 brilliant people + me - turns out you have to be in your own starter pack!) Please do follow/ share if you’re interested ❤️ go.bsky.app/7dPWqWQ

And, middle-class professionals, if you want to do some positive volunteering, join a voluntary sector management committee/board! They're always desperate for people with the types of knowledge and skills you have!

Hi @bsky.app It would really help if, when you tell us that someone is following us that it is someone you are already following. Been away for a few days and lots of new followers. Which is nice. But took ages checking them out. Thank you. Great place btw

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social is on here now. The world is now safe.

Has anyone created a starter pack (great idea) for Social Enterprise?
