Seasons Greetings everyone, another year is approaching quickly. I would as always like to thank my clients for their continued support. I have enjoyed this year’s projects I have had the privilege of designing courses, training directors and Trustees, writing the odd WordPress website, writing a huge amount of policy and consulting on organisational issues.

I have also taught myself how to use Advanced Custom Fields, any number of other WordPress Plugins, I have also made three quilts, cooked countless meals for friends and neighbours, taught a few people to use Zoom and other online tools. I have helped run countless activities in my local park to which has been wonderful, incidentally, I stood down from the Friends of Fog Lane Park committee a couple of weeks ago after serving for just over 3 years as their Park Secretary. I will continue to walk my neighbour’s dog Peggy in the park :).

I have helped support the Freelance Communities I am part of, and feel lucky to have such strong supportive people around me, it has been a privilege to work with many of you over the past few years.

I am thankful for friends, board games (mostly online), life, family and work, yes work!

There have been ups and downs throughout the past year what with the pandemic and life, but I am still here and mostly positive.

The purple tree (reduced from Paperchase a few years ago) is up with my mermaid topper, there will be a break of a week or so, with friends, walks, food, wine and joy.

Might be looking for a green aka ‘grown-up’ fake Christmas tree in the sales.

Thank you all, see you in the new year.

    Many companies have realised it is somewhat impossible to completely adhere to all the Personal Data Protection laws out there. The way they are focusing on combating this is by providing a comprehensive White Paper to explain their processes and answer questions from people who use their services. There are several examples of this approach…

    Bare Minimum

    We should aspire to more than the bare minimum when writing policy. I came across a great example of employment for freelance policy this week put out by ARC (Stockton Arts Centre) it shows a level of empathy and understanding for freelancers rarely seen in the world of policy. We should aim to do this…
