Digital for charities and nonprofits with Ross McCulloch, Founder of Third Sector Lab

Are you interested in harnessing technology for social impact at your charity, social enterprise or non profit? Are you interested in digital improvement or digital transformation? Much of the nonprofit sector is way behind where it could be in terms of digital capabilities, so Ross McCulloch talks us through key areas charity leaders and teams need to think about in harnessing technology for social impact. Ross McCulloch is founder of Third Sector Lab, where he leads on working with charities to help them use digital and social media as a tool to deliver organisational objectives. He is the founder of Digital Trustees Scotland - a movement which aims to get a tech professional on every charity board. Ross developed and facilitates the highly-successful SCVO Digital Senior Leaders Programme. He also runs the CharityComms Scotland Networking Group and Third Sector Geeks WhatsApp Group to help strengthen the charity digital community. * The Charity Impact podcast is the in-depth podcast for people working in the charity / non-profit sector, or more broadly to achieve social impact and/or social change.
