This Innovation Day, we are showcasing three very different businesses and organisations from across the HIE area 🗺️ However, The Oyster Restoration Company, RSE and a charity and social enterprise all had the same goal - to step out and innovate 💡 Whatever your goal, our innovation experts can help you identify, plan and implement the changes you need to grow.

Instead of seeing #business and #charity as opposing forces, we encourage embracing a more integrated approach that combines the best elements of both worlds. "The challenge is, that in a time when people can’t give any more than they are, all charities must focus on becoming more enterprise led to earn vital income, or they must look at ways to incentivise generosity, for example rewards based crowdfunding." Duncan Parker, Chairman of Ethical Good. Discover more about this strongly held belief in our recent blog: https://bit.ly/3VIF2cH #businessforgood #purpose #ethicalgood #enterprise

A new strategy has been launched by the Charity Commission for England and Wales, with priorities that include: ▶ to be fair and proportionate in its work, and clear about its role. ▶ to support charities to get it right, while taking robust action where it sees wrongdoing and harm. ▶ to speak with authority and credibility, free from the influence of others. ▶ to embrace technological innovation and strengthen its use of data. ▶ to be an expert Commission where its people are empowered and enabled to deliver excellence in regulation. #UKCharity #CharitySector #Philanthropy More here: https://lnkd.in/enZBkTaf

It's been an emotional week for me - firstly Jurgen Klopp announces he's leaving LFC at the end of the season, and today was the last day Louise Third MBE chaired the Catena Network Sector Spotlight event for Charity..... Louise has chaired the event for the last 3 years superbly, and today was no different, as she posed the question "What would you count as your greatest success and how can we learn from it?" to attendees Merle Harrison-Croft , Alison M. Elliot Harris René Neunteufel Martin Cornforth Dean Williams Paul Hudson (and his cat Dave) Darren Bicknell and Peter Spencer. One of the successes discussed, was the benefit of collaboration between organisations and the ways the organisations represented were pursuing this.....we hope to meet up in 3 months time to continue the opportunities for collaboration, albeit under the leadership of a new Chair..... So who is your money on - the Catena equivalent of Xabi Alonso ??? 😊 #charity #businessnetwork #businessconnections #businessrelationships #catena

If your organization were to select only one prominent feature, which specifically about your current set of plans, projects, portfolios, or goals would you describe as most vital to fulfilling a meaningful purpose, mission, or vision? Is it the whale of scale? Gestation of innovation? Parity by charity? Desire to inspire? #MakeYourTeamWorkCount

Companies nurture leaders and learn how to innovate in various ways, with acquiring knowledge being certainly one of the key approaches. Having more leaders who share the same knowledge within one organisation is a starting point for #positivechange. #IFLP

How many of you have heard the famous saying "you cannot do it alone". This could not be more true than in the charity and philanthropy world. You must bring other people on your team to help you in this 'do good' world. Your success literally depends on this and you will not be able to scale and do more good without being a great team builder. We at Edward Charles Foundation know this. We have literally helped thousands and thousands of charitable enterprises in the last 25 years scale and it all comes down to building team, whether it is a board of directors, a board of advisors, volunteer team, donor base, partners, etc, It's all about your ability to build relationships. (I don't care if you have the best idea ever or the most money!) This Accelerator is all about how to do this and to create a plan for this as well. (This course is for anyone in the 'do good' world, literally, who wants to build a charitable enterprise, whether you are just starting it or being doing it for 20 years) Take the plunge, our next Accelerator, A30 Accelerator starts January 18, 2pm. It is a 1 hour a week Zoom call, 4 weeks in a row, Thursday at 2pm PST. You can do this, sign up here. https://lnkd.in/g6FC2ZmF
