Hi guys! Happy Tuesday 🌞
I thought I’d jump on here to say a quick hello and introduce myself! My name’s Rose and I’m so excited to be starting as your new Community Manager. I’ll be following on from the incredible Aggie, who’s done a brilliant job fostering this community over the last year. 
So a bit about me. I’m a Social Media buff by trade, also running the channels for CharityConnect’s sister site, CharityJob - so for all questions social media-related, feel free to come my way! I’m thrilled to be leading this particular community and want it to be an ever-improving space that best serves you as you navigate working in the third sector.
When I’m not at work, a good chunk of my time’s spent helping out at my local church (although post-lockdown things look very different; Zoom Bible studies and recreating the strategy for our Social Media channels weren’t exactly what I was expecting!). Add into the mix attempting to plan a wedding during a global pandemic (anyone else in the same boat?) and life looks pretty strange right now 😂 Other fun facts about me is that I love wild water swimming, and am always the first one to dance at a party!
Charities especially close to my heart tend to be anything education-related (Compassion UK, Building Hope Project) or missionary-supporting, particularly ones operating in Iran (Elam, HeartCry Missionary Society).
Most of all, I’m excited to be joining CharityConnect during the season we’re in. It’s times like these where we learn how crucial online communities really are - we need to support one another if we want to become resilient. Think of CharityConnect as that short break in a marathon where you stop running and make sure you’re on the right track 🏃‍♂️ Now’s a period of learning from one another as charities adapt and innovate towards ‘the new normal.’ 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the day, CharityConnect is a network run by YOU. So I want to start a conversation and hopefully we can get to know one another!
💜 When did you join CharityConnect? What’s your fondest memory of how it’s supported you?
🤝 How can we best serve you right now as you navigate working during the pandemic? What would you like to see more of?
🤩 Your current inspiration: what charities have you seen do a stellar job innovating during these times?
I’m looking forward to meeting you, hearing your stories and getting to know you better!
Rose x
