#BeMoreDigital2020
13 March 2020
On Thursday 5th March Suzi and I travelled to #BeMoreDigital2020 Conference at the Olympia Conference Centre in London. We attended the event to support the development of The Magdalene Group’s use of digital in our organisation, from brand image to evidencing the impact our services have for the young people and women we work with. Suzi and I attended various presentations and panel discussions throughout the day including; ‘5 steps to better impact reporting’, ‘Should all strategy be digital or is digital just a part of strategy’, ‘Tackling inclusion’, and ‘Everything you need to know about killer content’. For me Dr. Andrew Tomlinson’s presentation on ‘How AI is improving service delivery for small charities’ was fascinating, he spoke about the amazing case study completed by DataKind and The Welcome Centre, a foodbank in Leeds, worked together to implement AI tech to visitor data to forecast who might require additional support from the support staff at the foodbank, allowing for more efficient and effective ways of support individuals.

Voluntary Sector Forum
12 March 2020
I attended March’s Voluntary Sector Forum last week where there were presentations on the changes in Senior Management Structure in Children’s Services, the new operating model of FLOURISH, and the Health and Social Care Assembly for Norfolk and Waveney. In addition to these we also had Florence from Youth Strike 4 Climate Norwich present to us and run a workshop on climate change. The workshop included thinking about what our organisations do now to be eco-friendly and what more action we can, and should, take to prevent further impact on the climate. Following on from this workshop, The Magdalene Group would like to invite some young people from Youth Strike 4 Climate Norwich in to consult on our Environmental Sustainability Policy, later in the year, to ensure we are doing all that we can to fight climate change as an organisation.
