Google Search Console is one of my favourite ways to quickly check the health of a charity website - what pages are being indexed, if there are any security concerns, web vitals etc. It's free, very useful and one of the quickest ways to identify problems.

Calling all galleries, libraries, archives and museums - if you have an AI project in mind - but need some support and funds to get it off the ground - this could be a brilliant partnership for you.

oh my goodness this brings back some memories!
