GCVS are building a programme of community activities at their Glasgow venue, The Albany. The rooms and facilities at the venue will be available for use at evenings and weekends, hosting a range of practical and creative activities. This is the building where Social Media for Social Good is held and where we deliver GCVS's social media training programme - it's a fantastic space.
You can help shape the programme...you may have a skill (eg. photography, art, social media, IT) you wish to train others in, or you may be looking for space to hold your own events and meetings.

As some of you will know I volunteer with Scottish Community Foundation, sitting on their National Grants Committee. As part of my role I now sit on the Scottish steering group for localgiving.com, a hyper-local online giving platform owned 50% by Community Foundation Network and 50% by the Ardbrakc Foundation.
Localgiving.com is unique in the fact that various rounds of match funding will be rolled out during 2012, effectively allowing donors to double their money. From 14th May any donation made to Scottish charities registered with Localgiving.com will receive matched funds from a pot worth £15,000.
The Localgiving.com May Match Fund starts at 9am on 14 th May and will continue until the full £15,000 is allocated to Scottish Charities.
By making a donation to a favourite local charity via Localgiving.com, donors can double their gift and the charity receives twice the support as Localgiving.com Scotland matches the amount, with a further 25% coming from Gift Aid. Over 50 Scottish charities have registered with the site, all of which are eligible for match funding. Charities and groups not already registered are encouraged to become part of the initiative by contacting the Scottish Community Foundation or Localgiving.com. Registration is free for the first three months then just £6 per month.
In order to concentrate on my consultancy work with Third Sector Lab and organising Be Good Be Social events I've taken the difficult decision to pass on ownership of Third Sector Forums. That new owner could be you.
Third Sector Forums is arguably the most popular charity and social enterprise forum in the UK with 1550 members and over 7600 posts to date. The forum has a Facebook page with 2320 fans and a Twitter account with 3104 followers. The forum has a team of volunteer super-admins who keep it clear of spam and a highly active user base. The forum also performs really well on Google. The forum is built on the vBulletin platform ensuring it is robust and easily updatable. The new owner would get the full website, userbase, domains, social media accounts, etc.
The right person/organisation could really take Third Sector Forums to the next level. Possible people I'm looking to hear from include:
- Third sector umbrella bodies (CVS, social enterprise bodies, etc).
- Social entrepreneurs.
- A co-operative.
- A funding body, foundation, trust or other philanthropic org.
- A consortium of orgs (possibly a tech firm, charity, social enterprise, etc)
- Charities involved in third sector tech.
- Techy types with a passion for social good.
- A third sector publication (magazine, newsletter, news site, blog, etc).
- A business who works closely with the third sector.
- Anyone else who feels they could run Third Sector Forums.
If you're interested in taking over the forums drop me an email - ross[@]thirdsectorlab.co.uk - or tweet/DM me by Monday 7th May 12pm GMT at the latest. I'm not necessarily looking for money, my main concern is that the forums end up in the right hands.
I made it in to The Drum Magazine Top Freelancers 2012 under the Social Media category. Thanks to those of you who voted!

We've teamed up with Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector to bring you an amazing line-up of speakers and interactive workshops to help you get the most out of digital media for your charity, community group or social enterprise.
Social media has transformed the way the third sector campaigns, raises funds, sells, recruits volunteers and raises awareness. The online world has truly transformed the way we engage with our beneficiaries, the public & key influencers.
Social media is no longer a 'nice to have' element of your marketing, PR, campaigning and fundraising mix – it's an essential tool which can transform the way your organisation connects with the world.
Our one day conference will be anything but dull, we'll be exploring key case studies, the latest digital media trends and providing you with the skills you need to make a mark with social media.
As well as being an amazing learning experience, ‘Social media for social good’ is a great networking opportunity. Our event is suitable for charities, community groups, social enterprises and other third sector organisations as well as public or private orgs looking to connect with the sector.

The cost of shooting high quality video is at an all-time low and watching videos online has never been more popular - Cisco predict that 90% of web traffic will be video by 2013. Video can be a powerful way for third sector organisations to bring their work to life.
Part of the GCVS social media training programme, our hands-on workshop will teach you how to plan, shoot, edit and upload video for the web using software and equipment that won't break the bank. You’ll come away from the workshop with working knowledge of storyboarding, planning a shoot, using audio and video equipment, interview techniques, editing your content, how to upload your videos to the major platforms, such as YouTube and Vimeo, and simple ways to attract more viewers.
The workshop is hosted by Be Good Be Social video wonder woman Erin Maguire - if you've ever been to one of our events she's the one behind the camera and if you've ever watched our talks online it's thanks to her. Erin has 15 years experience as a sound/video/lighting technician, 6 years as a filmmaker and 4 as a web media producer. She knows her stuff. I'll also be on hand during the workshop to help Erin out.
Hope you can join us on 22nd March 9.30am-4.30pm, bookings can be made now via the GCVS website.
Those of you using the new Facebook timeline for pages will notice that you can no longer set a custom application as the default landing tab non-fans see. So no more welcome landing pages badgering people to 'like to unlock' content. While the aggressive social media marketeers out there may weep it is a victory for user experience and it should mean that truly engaging, interesting content floats to the surface.
According to TechCrunch default landing tabs only drive 10% of the total page app traffic. 90% comes from published links and ads, which still function the same without the default landing tab capability. Theoretically therefore it could only cause a maximum of a 10% drop in page app traffic, much of the way pages use apps will stay the same.
So is the death of the Facebook page default landing tab a good thing for users?
Scotland's first ever all-day third sector social media conference, Social Media for Social Good, will take place on 26th April 2012 at The Albany Learning and Conference Centre, Glasgow.
The event will be packed with amazing talks and a selection of practical workshops, encompassing topics such as video for the web, better blogging, facebook and twitter tips, social media strategy, online fundraising and more.
We’re keen to keep the conference affordable so tickets will be under £100 – they’re going to be available via the GCVS website from 1st March onwards. I’ll let you know the full speaker and workshop line-up soon!
SCIAF is set to launch the WEE BOX, BIG Change campaign for 2012 on Tuesday 21st February 2012. The campaign will focus on the Association of People with Disabilities (APD) in Bangalore, India, a long standing partner of the Scottish aid agency.
SCIAF is asking people to order a WEE BOX, choose something to give up and then fill their WEE BOX with the money they would have spent. Easy peasy. The donations you make will help those in desperate need in India and across the developing world.
You can order your WEE BOX today and find out more about WEE BOX, BIG Change here.
Now to figure out what my vices are...
This is Channel 4's latest advertising campaign for series two of their hugely successful show 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding'. Channel 4 may argue that their show helps breaks down stereotypes about travelling people, many would argue it simply reinforces them, but for me the use of an image of a child with the tagline 'Bigger. Fatter. Gyspier' is a grossly irresponsible.
What will the child's classmates make of the widespread poster campaign? Is the child featured in the show or is he a model? Does it make a difference?
I'd love to know what people think. I'd love it even more if Channel 4 explained themselves.
If you're a fundraiser, someone new to the profession or if raising funds is part of your wider role then it's hard to ignore the potential of online tools and social media. For many charities their online giving strategy starts and stops with a donate-button on their website, often with little thought put in to how they'll encourage people to part with their hard earned cash.
Our Third Sector Lab Online Fundraising workshop is here to help. Hosted by Sara Thomas, Fundraiser with MND Scotland and former Be Good Be Social speaker, the half-day workshop will give you everything you need to get started fundraising online.
Part of the GCVS Learning and Development programme, the training workshop is just £65 for members or £85 for non-members. The workshop runs twice on Thu 23rd February 2012, allowing you to choose between a morning or afternoon session.
What Sara will be covering:
· An introduction to online fundraising tools – how to get started & notes on best practice
· Incorporating online fundraising into your overall fundraising strategy
· Practical workshop – how do we make this work in your organisation?
What Sara wants participants to bring:
· Enthusiasm
· Curiosity
· Any questions that they have about online fundraising, especially ones specific to their organisation.
What Sara wants participants to take from the session:
· A clear idea of the range of online fundraising tools available
· To feel confident about getting started, or feel more secure in their existing knowledge
· To feel confident about integrating online/digital fundraising into their existing strategy
· Ideas for the use of online fundraising that’s specific to their organisation
· To come away with practical tips about digital fundraising that are drawn from case study and real life experience
£65 GCVS members, £85 non-members.
You can choose between a morning or afternoon session.
Thu 23rd February 2012 9.30am - 12.30pm
Thu 23rd February 2012 1.30pm - 4.30pm
You can contact Stacey on 0141 332 2444 or stacey.anderson@gcvs.org.uk if you'd prefer to be invoiced or to have a booking form sent to you.
This workshop is part of a range of social media training workshops available at GCVS in partnership with Third Sector Lab.
Well it seems a fair few of you got in to the Christmas spirit and read my blog post about Shelter Scotland's Blantyre project. Over 20 gifts were received just in time for Christmas, staff at the service had feared they would not be able to provide a gift for every child.
Linda Dickson, Service Manager at Shelter Scotland’s Support Service South Lanarkshire, said:
“We are overwhelmed by the level of support we have received and it just goes to show the positive impact social media can have. Homelessness can have a devastating effect on children’s lives and Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for them and their families.
On behalf of everyone at Shelter Scotland I would like to send a heartfelt thank you to those who donated a gift and made Christmas Day a very special time for the families and children we work with."
I've become slightly addicted to the wonderful If This Then That (ifttt). In essence, ifttt is a way to put the internet to work for you by creating tasks that fit this simple structure: if this then that. For example:
TThere's tons of ifttt Channels (DropBox, Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, YouTube and more) which define Triggers and Actions, the basic building blocks for creating ifttt tasks.
I thought it would be interesting to have a play about with ifttt tasks and I came up with @WeegieWeather - an ifttt powered weather channel for Glasgow. This ifttt powered twitter account tweets when certain parameters are met, utilising the Yahoo Weather Channel as a trigger. So you'll get a tweet to let you know if it's going to be snowing tomorrow, if it's about to turn to rain in the afternoon, if it's bikini weather tomorrow, if it's going to be clear skies and so on. I've added a fair few weather triggers so weegies need never get caught without an umbrella or sun cream again.
I take no responsibility for the accuracy of the tweets as they're powered by Yahoo Weather not me. Don't moan to me that your picnik at Kelvingrove Park got rained upon if the tweets said it was clear skies.
A rather nice ifttt trigger/action I've set up means the @WeatherWeather twitter avatar should always reflect the weather right now in Glasgow. I used Creative Commons images for this:
Cloudy day (Clydeport crane) shot by Kristian Dela Cour.
Rainy day (Gibson St umbrella) shot by Neil H.
Snowy day (Glasgow uni) shot by Ian Dick.
Anyone can create their own weather channel for their city based upon the ifttt recipes I've shared. I'd love feedback on this and I'm especially interested to hear from other people using ifttt.
Have a butchers at pages 3 & 4. I've helped GCVS put together a digital media training programme for 2012, aided by various #BeGoodBeSocial regulars:
Writing for the web - Content strategistic, copywriter and keen cyclist Ann Cook will be hosting this workshop exploring blogs, newsletters, content strategy and more.
- Social media basics - I'll be hosting this one, you'll hear from some people making real headway with social media in the Scottish third sector throughout the day.
- Using Twitter and Facebook for your organisation - I'll be joined by Martin Keane, Social Media Strategist with Third Sector Lab and digital chap for SCIAF for this one.
- Measuring your online success - This workshop will be hosted by Conrad Rossouw of Shelter Scotland. He'll be giving solid practical advice on how you can measure your impact online.
- Online fundraising - This one will be hosted by Sara Thomas, fundraiser with MND Scotland. She'll be haring her experiences of using online fundraising tools within MND Scotland.
- Video for the web - #BeGoodBeSocial video expert Erin Maguire will take workshop attendees through the process of planning, shooting, editing and uploading a video from scratch.
Booking details are included in the PDF above.

I suddenly saw our the Qin house and the accounts of the season at home exchanges. We Qin original and two Master Shaohao responsible for the silk business in close cooperation with, and two Master Qin home for the terminally ill put a lot of water.
I recall that day, less Huan asked me and Shaohao a Huoer, under the clear understanding of the heart. I am afraid, I married into the quarter, the government is also related with the two young master. Why not heard dad asked me to stand on this side of the two young master?
I looked at the books your breath thinking, no less Huan has stood behind me. "You children, do not think, everything I have."
I looked up at the back less Huan, saw his eyes sparkling, 1:00 hit wins the heart and soul go.
Seems to be straightforward stare at and feel uncomfortable, he took a step back, and I recovered. The less Huan my husband, Qin home and Shaohao, have close ties, I am afraid that the father is standing on this side of Shaohao. I turn a blind eye will be able to think of the dilemma of the Qin family and his father's morbid fear is life Shaohao has been pinching my Qin home. I want to in the end how to do?
I tentatively asked him: less Huan, should I Qin against you, you could give in the future a way out? "
He looked at me deeply, slow deep voice: "Everyone had to make responsible for the choice, you understand me, quiet child?"
I sip the lips, and hearts of the initiation of the business idea of disposable workers. In case future Qin home run down my own under the name of property but naturally the best, than I go to beg less Huan. On second thoughts, in case it is less Huan failed, my hand has property Shaohao did not dare me how. In this situation, 求人不如求己 ah!
Although born of this idea, I still feel some hesitation, I have always not great courage to act out of a loss, the future suddenly let me go into business, I can not start.
"Less Huan, Nfl jerseys cheap

Friends of the fifth chapter brother brother Ti [this chapter words: 2359 last

Our voice rang out at the same time, which makes us distracted for a long time, phase, as the laughter.
"You children first."
"No, little Huan speak first."
Less Huan said briskly: "I'll guess that you, quiet child, but 想出去走走 experience the feeling of doing business?" Looked at me and his eyes sparkling.
I suddenly see through the mind, could not help but admire from this man, He was born with the body is weak, but has been working diligently to take care of the accounts; At the same time was able to have a spare, playing a good hand piano; even more peculiar insight into things, can be found his brother's plot, but also to understand the mind of a woman.
I do not see a word, he went on to say: "quiet child, I naturally would be to accede to your request, because that is what I seek quiet child."
What? I abruptly looked up at him, only to see his eyes full of determined to win the ambition.
He smiled and spoke up: "quiet child, you feel for the husband is not the physical weak in the human world there will not be for several years?"
I hastened to put an end to his words: "Nonsense! I feel your energy these days, even the" Guang Ling San "like that song can be manipulated!
I have this comfort the patient in accordance with the secular habit, and wanted to talk but then on the eyes of his praise. Oh, Yes, if he is really weak and sickly, it will have finished their day how Guanglingsan can also no heterochromatic talk to me? coach purses outlet
Notes that song Guanglingsan the whole song is sonorous, passionate, their own blood must be worth boiling in order to bomb to him that level!
Could it ... The young master is keeping a low profile, a snake out of its hole, wait and see? No, he is not been done yet? Two Master every day to give him poison, he did not already know it, talk to Father complain ah!
I tentatively asked him: "little Huan, if you order to lead the snake out of its hole, why not with the classic two Master prescription things?"
He looked at me weird, but forced back the way one would like to laugh. I suddenly starting the fire, laughing laughing laughing at me with before, you will snitch you? Or, in fact, the master and he also know the two young master in the prescription?
soga so perceptive or very strong! I tiptoe to pat him on the shoulder, quarter brother fortune was missing, and drawn the short straw ah so do not move the father to be see? You are under the drug also won the sympathy? "
"Ah ha ha ha!" He put up a long time laughing all of a sudden gushing out, "I said Miss Qin Tai, you have been drugged ah, never seen you to tell the father!"
Wow, he did unrestrained laugh I rarely see eh, this weight loss, so smile a good feel of modern youth, the sun shone in his profile, the Hosta York since his hair, really cool, do not lie to you ... Wait, what, I was also drugged? Naples is not it!
I blurted asked: "What drugs!"
He said with a smile is very profound meaning: "Well, with my medicine, but since for Fucha feel drained, naturally will not let the quiet child to drink, say is not what is poison."

Mourinho own day,wholesale nike elite jerseys, has been very clear that he need not worry about the team's lineup. He just give these people to instill confidence in the victory and accept defeat when these guys are no longer inertia results, Porto speed to turn around anyone else to be fast.
Linyi, Nfl jerseys china,that kid in the training ground of the spirit children, has been deeply infected with each person, even a 15-year-old guy, so your life, what reason is there as a spectator on the side? A bit aggressive, do not want to be as a child more than to.
Porto,Elite nfl jerseys, has been twisted into a death-defying everyone, a powerful force that it burst out of the energy makes surprise.
Porto This has been achieved in the last few games is not surprising, even if only Pie Piezui Mourinho facing four wins and a flat record, he does not think this is the miracle of those media that This is supposed to be the level of the Porto team should play out.
Mourinho has even a draw regret for that, originally in his plan, the five-game winning streak is the most perfect result, but opponents of the draw, but Sporting Lisbon, but also in the other home.
Mourinho not only alone Porto team on the road to get a draw, and 2:2 0:2 backward chase became flat.
May now be more regrettable that people should Sporting Lisbon lost a hand third of them in a good situation, drop points already depressed enough, they had to accept the opponents in the standings was Porto draw on the transcendental reality.
Draw opponents get one point, and has been chasing the second in the standings Porto, now only one point less than Benfica, Mourinho and his Porto team surrendered respondents.
Atletico are now not only in the score on opponents tied, that process is to let their fans the most depressing thing should have been 2-0 ahead, they can rely on defensive back to hold the score.
An exception the first play of Cristiano Ronaldo showed good condition, and perhaps he saw in each other's bench that old rivals in the first 45 minutes of the game, Christie Jarno Ronaldo is very active.
But 45 minutes later, all again silent, in order to keep leading the situation Inacio once again chose a conservative.
Inacio conservative choice at halftime after removed Cristiano Ronaldo, sent out two assists young people in the game in a row, put on a defensive midfielder, Yi Naxi Austria hope to hold this hard-earned lead in the second half.
However, Mourinho can not give him this opportunity Inacio replaced striker dagger, Mourinho has chosen to change the formation of the Porto forward, and he Deco's position substantially forward, almost to the top to the athletic teams of area online.
Two edges of a fierce defender before the pressure, the three-striker formation on both sides stretch to open behind the striker Da Erlei Deco, the level many offensive formations in the second half has been suppressed Atletico counterattack idea they can not afford to even organized a valid pass.
Linyi at this time to stand on the sidelines, Cristiano Ronaldo reluctantly put on clothes on the bench, that his opponent was ready to debut Although this is the the Linyi first time in Al The Valade court appearance, but many people no longer strange to him early.
Mourinho threw this kid play 30 minutes later, everything changed, Alvalade Stadium From this day, destined To the name of Linyi nail in the most unpopular player on the list. because this kid once again become the bitter hands of Sporting Lisbon.
Stadium of Light in Porto with a goal an assist to destroy the Atletico defense, this time is no exception, Linyi again to switch to Porto Sporting Lisbon as a stepping stone to winning others trust.
If the Linyi born Sporting Lisbon nemesis in the game and the team, he can always become the focus of the field, but this focus is always burned Lisbon, do not control whether they are willing.
With two games to become the goal of the Lisbon curse the Linyi can be said to have created a record, as the opponent's Cristiano Ronaldo is the second missed and Linyi play together opportunities, the binary star collision once again become empty talk.

I thought that it might be a good idea to post some information about an up-coming conference on Third Sector Commissioning in this forum as it might be of interest to people here. :)
The Open Public Services White Paper highlights a critical shift in the role of local authorities and statutory agencies from providers to commissioners of services and Capitas established Third Sector Commissioning Conference will provide a perfect forum for all public sector commissioners and civil society organisations to get to learn about the new commissioning landscape and models of service delivery.
The event is timed to coincide with the opening up of the market to include a diverse range of Third Sector organisations, capable of delivering vital public services in a more cost effective, targeted fashion and with added social value and flexibility. This demands that stakeholders have an innovative incentive structure and commissioning framework that emphasises the importance of outcomes and the social return on investment.
The key issues which will be addressed in this agenda include:
Implementing outcomes-based commissioning and Payment by Results (PbR) contracts
Creating a level playing field for voluntary sector organisations to compete
Measuring social value added as well as financial gains
Engaging with new health commissioning arrangements and the role of Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) Commissioning emerging community service models such as social enterprises
The conference is a good oportunity to hear from leading experts and to take away practical guidance to help your commissioning function. Attend to ensure you are able to provide the right environment for VCS organisations to compete, secure and deliver vital public services.
The chair will be Joe Irvin, Chief Executive, NAVCA
and speakers include:
Rt Hon Alun Michael MP, Chair, All Party Parliamentary Group on Civil, Society and Volunteering
Henry Midgley, Audit Principal, National Audit Office
Kalvinder Kohli, Senior Service Manager - Strategy, Policy and Commissioning, Birmingham City Council
Jean Templeton, Chief Executive, St Basils
Bev Searle, Director of Joint Commissioning, NHS Berkshire
Andrew Thomson, Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT), Strategy Manager, London Borough of Enfield
