My popular list of LIOs (Local Infrastructure Organisations) – Councils for Voluntary Service or Voluntary Action’s that are using Web 2.0 contains a link to the blog of Steve Manwaring the Chief Officer of Hastings Voluntary Action.
Steve recently had an article published in the LIO/CVS magazine which explains how he got started as a blogger and what motivates him to write, this is his blog post about it.
His blog is always an interesting read and paints a good picture of just how hectic the life of CVS Chief Officer is … juggling priorities, writing funding bids, oh and running a busy CVS! The nice touch is that he often finishes each post with a link to relevant (usually!) music track on YouTube.
Guess you are my first “blogger of the month” …. any other CVS / LIO / Voluntary Action’s like to be featured?
Finally – a plug for the NAVCA annual conference. I am looking forward to the packed programme, particularly hearing Greg Clark (Shadow Minister for Charities, Social Enterprise and Volunteering) speak on his vision for the third sector … and I guess others will be eager to speak to Peter Wanless the Chief Executive of Big Lottery Fund.
Now, dashing off to catch a train to Preston for a Lancashire ICT roadshow, I will report back on how ICT for the third sector is in Red Rose County later. As I’m going over the hills, I though this little ditty by The Automatic would be appropriate. (Sorry Steve, but there’s a saying about copying an idea being flattery isn’t there?!)
