The Digital Garden, NCVO, 2011
With cuts to public funding and widespread social unrest, the voluntary sector has rarely been under greater pressure, or more necessary. Can digital tools provide some answers? And how does the internet change what it means to be small and local? Andy’s think-piece for the NCVO, The Digital Garden, explores these questions and attempts a few answers.
“Excellent piece on doing stuff differently using t’Internet (in plain English: so no excuses)” – Mark Fowden, Fowden Grealy Consultants
