Board Fundraising: Proven Strategies To Get Your Board More Involved4Good.org
Do you wish your board did more fundraising? I’m going to guess the answer is a resounding “Yes!” Many board members run the other way the second you mention fundraising. Others agree to help but don’t really end up doing much. In this webinar, we’ll look at why and give you concrete strategies proven to get board members more engaged in fundraising.
So many programs and organizations depend on volunteers that have been with them for years. What happens when those volunteers start to get older? If your volunteers are aging, this session can help. Learn strategies for identifying the signs of aging in place - volunteers who continue to do the same work even though their capabilities have changes - and how to start a conversation about that change. Managing the transition as well as creating new options for aging volunteers will be covered, and we'll discuss what to do when the situation can't be solved amicably. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss challenges.

Networked Energy: Energy independence for AlderneyCitizen Network
by Chris Cook and Marcus Saul, Island Power
As Research Fellows at the Institute for Strategy, Resilience and Security, at University College, London, Marcus Saul and Chris Cook researched and developed the Pacific Natural Grid resource resilience strategy.
Here they explain how Denmark has led the way in creating sustainable networks of community-based energy production and distribution.
This has been transformative for Denmark, enabling it to become independent from the oil and gas industry’s dominance. But it is also transformative for communities, who are now creating their own energy economies.
Dr Dave Beck gave this talk for Part 5 of the ‘Grassroots Policies for Farming, Food and Wildlife’ webinar series, hosted by Citizen Network.
In his presentation Dr Beck discusses the harms caused by the monopolisation of supermarkets in the food industry. He also explores the positive possibilities of local currencies.
Dr Beck is a Lecturer at the University of Salford, Manchester.
The webinar recording is available to watch on Citizen Network's website at: www.citizen-network.org
Simon Duffy gave this presentation at the final conference of the UNIC Project, in Brussels in September 2023, providing an overview of personal budgets and the challenges ahead.
Sabrina Espeleta of War on Want outlines the enormous and growing level of world hunger. She explains how a few global corporations control the vast majority of food production and supply and markets exploit the food market, leaving communities, especially in the Global South at great disadvantage. Local peasant farmers are now organising to achieve food sovereignty, seeking to farm in ways in harmony with nature and to meet local needs. The Global North needs to respect the rights and autonomy of these people rather than to continue the pattern of exploitation.
This presentation was given on 6 July in Part 4 of a webinar series on grassroots policies for farming, food and wildlife.

Simon Duffy was asked by the Mayor’s Greater Manchester Charity and UBI Lab Manchester to talk at a recent roundtable event on the relevance of Universal Basic Income (UBI) to the problem of homelessness.
These are the slides from that talk. In summary Duffy argued that UBI is relevant to reducing homelessness in two slightly different ways:
1. UBI would help prevent homelessness - UBI addresses the inequalities in income and housing that create the risk of homelessness.
2. UBI would help people escape homelessness - UBI gives people a vital tool which significantly helps people change their situation in times of crisis.

Citizenship is our Business - The Avivo StoryCitizen Network
Avivo is one of the founding organisations in Citizen Network. they are also pioneers in self-direction and personalised support in Australia. Over the past few years they have been reorganising themselves around the principle that everyone is a citizen - and supporting everyone, including paid staff, to be citizens is their central purpose. Avivo are also leading Citizen Network's Rethinking Organisations programme and networking with other organisations on this journey.
Dr Simon Duffy spoke to Doncaster's Mental Wellbeing Alliance about the importance of thinking about what good help really means. He explored the importance of shifting power, resources and thinking upstream.
Markus Vähälä, CEO of Citizen Network, outlined the development of the cooperative as a framework to support the further development of Citizen Network as part of the 2022 Building Citizen network Together events hosted by Eberswalde University.
At BuildingCitizen Network Together in early 2022 Simon Duffy and James Lock discussed the development of Citizen Network and its current approach to membership and explored with members from all around the world next steps for its development.
These slides are from a talk Dr Simon Duffy of Citizen Network gave to Café Economique in Leeds, making the case for basic income. The argument set out is that UBI is one necessary part of a range of reforms necessary to support citizenship and strengthen community life. This talk preceded a (rather fiery) debate with Anna Coote of NEF who argued against UBI.
Simon Duffy gave this talk for Radical Visions on home, citizenship, institutionalisation and neighbourhood democracy. He explains why institutions are wrong and what we might be do to end the drive towards institutionalisation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

2. An overview
Help and Connect was born out of
lots of discussion and help from Kate
and Simon.
Help and Connect was Skills for
People’s answer to a very different
and changing world
We believe that people themselves
and their families and friends are the
experts.
We believe that with a little bit of
help and information people really
can take control.
3. Help and Connect
• Information you need, when you need
it
• Someone to help you to take the first
step
• A place to learn to speak up and take
control
• Advocacy support
• Help people to plan
4. Planning Cafe
• Planning cafe every week – resource
walls
• Access to advice
• Help to work things out if needed
• Problem solving and negotiation
• Support to challenge decisions
5. What have we learnt
• Helping people do it themselves,
requires less resource from us.....
• We need to find a way to help people
pool/share their budget and/or
support
6. Problems in
• Professionals are often more
bewildered by the process then people
and families
• People and families feel like every
detail is scrutinised and less in control
then they have been
• families not trusted to have people’s
best interests at heart
• Given different and inaccurate
information – this is almost always
7. Big headlines!
•Cuts are being taken off at the beginning AND
individually – we have to support people to
challenge this locally and nationally
•Are families backed into a corner – take the
small budget or lose control?
•Are Social Workers behind this really? We are
mopping up poor practice and ill informed
workers
•The level of scrutiny for people, in comparison
to Providers is unfair – how can we use
Providers best? Shared Management?
•Lack of leadership nationally and locally
•Self directed Support with no soul
