I’m very excited to be on the panel at the next NFPTweetup this Thursday, where Damien Austin-Walker (Head of Digital at vInspired), Bertie Bosrédon (Assistant Director of Services -Information & Multimedia at Breast Cancer Care ) and Emma Malcolm (Chief Executive at Prostate Action ) and I will be discussing some of the challenges facing the sector, and the role that digital media can play in meeting these.

I’m particularly enthused about this topic as I feel that social media is now established in the sector, but that there are even more ways we can use it. The next year and beyond are going to be tough for charities, but if we all try to be as creative and resourceful as we can with the tools that we have then it’s my belief that we might just survive and thrive.

What are the main challenges for you this year, and what role does digital media play in meeting these? I’d love to hear what you think. And if you’re coming to the event, don’t forget to take the quick pre-event survey on this topic.
