Jonathan Simmons, Managing Director of Public Zone, discussed how digital communications have transformed the not-for-profit sector. He noted that over 35% of men over 50 will be on Facebook by next year and over half of the UK population will have smartphones. When various charities adopted digital strategies, they saw major increases in online donations, website traffic, time spent on information, and downloads of informational materials. Digital communications have allowed charities to better engage supporters and advocates for their causes.

This document summarizes the work of the Institute of Fundraising (IoF), a membership organization for UK charities. It discusses IoF's founding, members, services provided, and the current fundraising climate in the UK and Wales. Austerity measures have increased competition for donations while public needs rise. However, data shows that well-run campaigns, community fundraising, and digital outreach can continue growing income. The IoF offers training to help members improve fundraising techniques and remain successful amid challenges.
The Forum for Voluntary Social Work is an umbrella organization in Sweden that aims to improve conditions for volunteering. It has over 40 member organizations and focuses on policy, knowledge sharing, and tools to support its members. Volunteering is strong in Sweden, with over half the population volunteering on average 14 hours per month. Civil society has historically played an important role alongside the welfare state in identifying needs and developing new methods to address social issues. Ensuring continued independence of organizations is fundamental to maintaining a strong civil society sector in Sweden.
This document summarizes information about transforming local councils in Wales into "CitizenPoweredCouncils" through co-production. It discusses tools and approaches from Governance International and Public Governance Wales to help councils co-commission, co-design, co-deliver, and co-assess public services with citizens to improve outcomes. Case studies from the UK and Sweden demonstrate how co-production has led to benefits like reducing costs, wait times, and needs escalation when citizens are empowered to help commission and assess services. The document argues that becoming a CitizenPoweredCouncil can help councils strengthen strategic planning, develop social innovation, and realize community resources and potential through greater citizen involvement.

The Robertson Trust is Scotland's largest independent grant-giving trust. Established in 1961 through a donation from three Robertson sisters, the Trust has awarded over £180 million to Scottish charities. It focuses on improving life chances for children and young people, as well as improving well-being for girls and women.

The document discusses challenges facing school governance in Bristol including changing communities, families, and political landscapes. It notes the need for improved school performance and closing gaps between advantaged and disadvantaged students. New models of school governance like academies and federations are discussed. The text calls for more rigorous recruitment and training of school governors to take on new leadership roles. It suggests opportunities for local development of school federations and consistent self-evaluation of governors and professional school leaders.
The document summarizes the findings of a needs assessment conducted with Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities in Brighton and Hove. It found that BME residents face issues with housing, employment, and educational attainment. Specifically, BME residents were more likely to rent privately and less likely to own homes, and certain ethnic groups had unemployment rates twice the city average. BME children and young people also tended not to reach their full potential compared to their White British peers. The steering group conducting the assessment is prioritizing work on these issues of housing, employment, and education, and engaging the community for input.

1) 14.07.2017 - Working with the Community First Strategy EventACSCommissioning
The document summarizes a Provider Engagement Forum held in July 2017 to discuss Hertfordshire's Community First strategy. The strategy aims to empower communities to support one another by raising awareness of voluntary services and challenging traditional commissioning. It focuses on preventing needs from escalating by utilizing social prescribing through local resources first. Community Navigators will help connect residents to community support and the strategy involves redesigning health and social care frameworks to prioritize community support. The forum provided an opportunity for questions and feedback on implementing these goals.
A workshop at the Herts Voluntary Sector Conference in Sept 2019 looked at how the development of Integrated Social Prescribing in Hertfordshire is offering greater consistency to support local people. Includes best practice case studies.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.
Data Drill looks at a new analysis from the World Bank showing gas flaring is at a four-year high.
Thanks for reading,

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
