Thinking about future jobs and where to go, and I think #ThirdSector is really my best option for achieving good things that make a difference.

Not all third sector bodies are created equally for sure, but I think where I currently work has a heart and soul.

There's also a charity near my home with a heart and soul of a different kind.

This is where the two parts of my Mastodon handle (Coding Gardener) fit together. It's a nice dichotomy with balance.

Wondering how your charity might generate a QR code to collect donations of a specific value - with instant settlement and zero fees?

Of course you are!

Here's a handy guide for Wonderful charities - it's pretty straightforward.

In a similar vein to my last post, this news is significant.

#Charity staff at Shelter unionised and negotiated a 7% pay rise + one off £1250 payment.

Now let’s say it once more… JOIN A UNION

All provision of labour must be valued, be it for social ‘good’ or not.

This articulates the moral conundrum of working in the third sector. All it’s missing is an intersectional critique of trustee influence on labour rights, activism, and service provision alike.

‘…charity acts as a “moral safety valve” that “normalises destitution and legitimates personal generosity as a response to major social and economic dislocation”.’

I know week notes are the typical format, but I’ve never been able to get into the habit. So instead, I’ve written year notes: a reflection on and round-up of my work in 2022.

The big takeways? I found my niche, walked an interesting line between content and service design, learnt to trust the process but reject the binary, and got a whole new perspective on my work when I accessed charity services myself.
