Better things happen when we connect the dots.
Feeling tired and exhilarated after another brilliant #UKCharityCamp
Here's the one photo we managed to get of the Poteris Team today - we were too busy having great conversations and sharing ideas to take more π«£

I'm having breakfast at Grand Central Kitchen before #UkCharityCamp and pleased to see people are actually posting here on the hashtag already!

It's my favourite day of the year! #UKCharityCamp

#ukgovcamp Second best day of the world year.
(It's not you, it's me. Or to be specific #ukcharitycamp Sorry.)
Thanks to everyone who was able to join us last week at #UKCharityCamp . We've had some really positive feedback and lots of great ideas on how we can keep improving π«Ά

My favourite photo of me from #ukcharitycamp, by arielletye.bsky.social
That expression is the pure joy of standing in front of 90-odd folk, from charities and orgs who work with them, who're about to have an inspiring day of mutual support and sharing good practises.
I'll forgive the cropping...
If you were at #ukcharitycamp yesterday - or even if you weren't, but wish you had been - this is the starterpack to follow.
ht the redoubtable @pigsonthewing - ask and he'll add you too, I'm sure.

Great day yesterday at #ukcharitycamp it was a little overwhelming to be in such a big group of (mostly) strangers and I had to take time out at lunch, but so glad I went and there were some really interesting sessions.
What a lovely bunch of people. #ukcharitycamp was great this year.
I've only seen two pics of me at #UKCharityCamp today, and both cut me in half - was it something I said?
;-)
Iβd just like to acknowledge HOW important meeting in real life is.
It feels like a drug Iβve forgotten to take for a while and itβs making me better.
Meeting in real life with wonderful, kind, friendly, trying to make a better world people!
Thank you #KendalMountainFestival & #UKCharityCamp
Wow, what a day. So amazing to connect with people from all over the UK facing similar challenges. Wonderful people, all on a mission to improve the work of charities through the effective use of technology. #ukcharitycamp -proud sponsor @promocymru.bsky.social

And that's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who came along to #UKCharityCamp today.
We hope you got as much out of it as we did. Keep an eye out for some blogging coming your way. Keep in touch!
Safe journeys home π
Sounds like a great session. So sorry to miss #UKCharityCamp.
Joined a conversation about Bluesky. Got my cogs turning. Begun with tips around engagement, audience and getting started and moved into a much bigger conversation on ethics and social value #ukcharitycamp
So many options! What would you choose? I forgot how fun in person conferences are. Seeing old friends, meeting new ones! #UKCharityCamp
Watching #ukcharitycamp from afar. Wish I was there. Have a great day everyone

A photo of post it's showing ideas for agenda discussions focusing on digital skills and open source collaboration
A great agenda coming together at #UKCharityCamp - it'll be hard to choose which session to go to!
People stood chatting in front of a wall of colorful postits, that are being organised to form an agenda for the unconference

Lovely to quite literally hear the energy in the room as we put the grid together.
