Greetings!


It's au revoir to Lindsay Boswell this week and bonjour to Amanda McLean as the sector bids adieu to the long-standing Institute of Fundraising chief. And while Lindsay's departure is on good terms, Navca faces the unhappy task of consulting with staff on up to 18 job cuts in the organisation after losing 50 per cent of its funding. As cuts continue to be felt, Big Society blogger Gordon Hunter suggests local organisations get creative with ways to save money while continuing their services.
