Charity Hour write up
On Wednesday 15th April #ProBonoOR was invited to
participate in #charityhour which takes place every Wednesday from 8-9pm.
Over the course of the hour the #charityhour coordinator, Tahera Mayat,
posed these 5 questions to the audience:
- What role does Pro bono consultancy have to play in the Third Sector?
- What's your experience of using pro bono consultancy?
- What tips do you have for others considering using pro bono consultancy?
- What type of projects benefit most from pro bono consultancy?
- Big data is a big thing! What tips do you have for getting insights from your data?
There was great discussion and I must say I was following
notifications on my phone and computer to keep up with all of the conversations
happening. It was very fast paced but
very rewarding and a fantastic experience that I would love to be involved in
again. #charityhour is a great way to
get charities talking about things that are important to them and a great place
to make new connections.
These are a selection of tweets I sent out during the hour:
