As we continue through the charity #trustee alphabet, we want to share with you the latest #MBS blog posts... 🧑🧑🧒🧒 M is for #Membership - Quakers talk about this and mean someone who has formally been recorded as a member. But in this post, I’m thinking about what helps us feel that we belong to a worshipping community – whether or not we’ve been formally recorded. 🔢 N is for Numbers - or those who don't like numbers! Check out our simple hints and tips to keep your finances in order. 💬 O is for Open to #Outreach - does your community know where to find you and what is happening at your place? Open up to outreach and reap the rewards. 💰 P is for Payroll - in our experience, this perplexes people! Check out our latest blog on the who, when, where, why, and how of payroll. 👇👇👇 The blog archive is packed with practical insights to help you. You can explore specifics for your role and charity. If you want to explore these topics in more detail, get in touch and a member of the MBS team is on hand to help. https://lnkd.in/e2hBJRKx [email protected] #training #BusinessSupport #financetips #CharityMarketing

Saturday evening, I attended Ben Jarman’s Swarthmore Lecture – ‘Getting What We Deserve? Imprisonment and the Challenge of Doing Justice’. I found this session #fascinating #inspiring and #sobering! Ben explored the myth & reality of how society responds to serious crimes. He draws on both personal and professional experiences. Friends were invited to share their thoughts and feelings. If you missed it, the recording is premiering on #Woodbrooke’s YouTube Channel tonight at 7pm (UK time). It’s well worth a watch.

How do you feel about creating annual reports? (Let us know in the comments). Charities exist for a reason – so you need to report on your charitable impact. Sometimes this can feel overwhelming! All the aspects should knit together into one engaging piece of reading. It should coherently highlight efforts and outcomes. To help, this week’s #MBS A-Z is packed with tips to guide you through. Check it out 👇 https://lnkd.in/evszp-ru Here at MBS we have spent decades perfecting the art of creating reports and guiding our clients through the overwhelm of responsibilities when supporting a charity.

Last week I visited Sissinghurst and got this beautiful shot ❤️ It reminded me of the importance of bees to our ecosystem. The growth of wildflowers and the world’s crops relies on them! The #UN recognises today as #WorldBeeDay to raise awareness of the importance of bees. Bees are continuously threatened by human activity, which includes the introduction of invasive insects, pesticides, land-use change, and monocropping practices, which have continuously been destroying bee colonies over time. #MBS #MindfulBusinessServices #CharityAdmin #Training #WendriesTravels

As a #Trustee do you have information overload, or maybe, not enough information? One difficulty for many is information overload. There is just so much to be known, and there is the fear that you’ve not learned something important, or have learned something that isn’t correct or doesn’t apply to your charity. Check out this week’s blog for insight. https://lnkd.in/eiaMZM8i #MBS #MindfulBusinessServices #CharityTraining #CharityAdmin #AdminSupport #Bookkeeping #FreeTraining
