If you’ve been following this blog you’re probably a little dissapointed at the level of activity recently. I’ve not posted here in a while because I’ve started using rossmcculloch.com for my personal thoughts, I’ve been busy organising Be Good Be Social and, most importantly, I’ve been taking on a lot of new client work.

The Third Sector Lab site you’re on right now is undergoing a complete rethink. We need to share some of the great work we’ve completed recently for clients like Tramway Theatre, ENABLE Scotland, Adrian Ashton, Think! and Relationships Scotland. We also need to let people know what digital media services we offer and what makes us different.

So…for just now you can get in touch with me via @ThirdSectorLab or email me ross[@]thirdsectorlab.co.uk if you’ve got any questions about what we do or if you’d like to discuss potential projects. A shiny new Third Sector Lab website will be revealed soon.

What are the humans for?

By Ross McCulloch
Designing work when AI can do more of it By Ross McCulloch, Third Sector Lab I read a piece by Anna Aston recently, When Machines Do the Thinking, What is Left for Us?, and it has been rattling around my head ever since. It asks a question I think most organisations are avoiding, mostly because the…

How charities are using Microsoft Copilot to solve real problems

By Ross McCulloch
In 2024, the UK Department for Business and Trade gave 1,000 staff access to Microsoft 365 Copilot and ran one of the more substantial independent evaluations of the tool. The headline result looked promising: 72% of respondents were satisfied or very satisfied, and most reported some time savings. But the evaluation found no evidence that…

How Charities Are Using Claude to Solve Real Problems

By Ross McCulloch
A 2026 study of 346 nonprofits by Virtuous and Fundraising.AI found that 92% had adopted AI in some form, but only 7% said it had meaningfully expanded what their teams could accomplish. Closer to home, the 2026 Charity Digital Skills Report – based on 807 UK organisations – found much the same shape: 79% of…
