Welcome back to ThirdSectorLab.

Third Sector Lab is written by Ross McCulloch who has a background in education, community planning, has run his own business and is now developing a partnership between three Lanarkshire charities. Ross also volunteers for Scottish Community Foundation and sits on the Big Lottery Fund’s Fair Share Scotland Panel. More recently, Ross also writes a third sector blog for the Sunday Mail .

The Lab looks at everything third sector - social enterprise, charities, volunteering, funding and beyond.

The Lab also highlights discussion and debate from Third Sector Forums. TSF is a friendly online community for UK charity professionals, volunteers and social entrepreneurs. The forums are a place for people to network, learn, debate and discuss third sector issues. Categories include funding, fundraising, governance, legal issues, internet, marketing, campaigns, social enterprise and more. While the forums are third sector focused, private and public professionals are welcome too. The forums are 100% free to use and run by volunteers.
