Forgot to mention in my last blog, that I was interviewed by the BBC on the back of the Runner Up award in Community Channel’s ‘Make a Difference’ competition. If you’re easily frightened, then don’t click through to the interview, it contains a picture of me prominently displayed.
HFH reached a small milestone during November. It now features over 500 plus actions/invitations in it’s database and there’s still loads more waiting in the wings to be vetted.
At the end of November, I attended a seminar entitled ‘Introduction to Social Media’ which explained about the magic and mysteries behind using Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for creating awareness about your organisation. It was my choice of prize from the competition I mentioned above. Here’s a TwitPic of the event.
One of the twelve attendants at the seminar was a lady from UnLtd, who like me wanted to learn about the social media out there. I mention this as UnLtd is a charity that supports social entrepreneurs. Upon learning about HFH, she mentioned that I was the type of social entrepreneur they are looking to fund as well as support projects like HFH. I was quite surprised at this, as I hadn’t considered myself a social entrepreneur before. Still, I’ve sent an email now off to UnLtd informing them about HFH. We’ll see what happens from here.
And last but not least, I’ve received an invite from Social Actions to share HFH’s database with them. It will be done via RSS Feeds which I know nothing about, but hey a lack of knowledge about something has never stopped me in the past.
Til next time
