I’m switching off my mobile phone. I’ve shut down my Facebook and Twitter accounts. And I’m turning my computer off. I am now officially out of the office and out of contact and will be for the next few days. This is the only time of the year that I can truely say that I am unreachable. Even when I am on ‘holiday’ that is not true. In our ‘always on’ lives there is no escape from online and offline distractions. I check and respond to emails and even receive telephone calls.

What can charities learn from my appearance in Good Housekeeping magazine
If you grab a copy of this month’s Good
Housekeeping, you’ll be in for a bit of a surprise. On page 61 there is a feature about me. It’s not work-related at all and just
documents a series of 40 challenges that I set myself in the run up to my 40th
birthday recently.
BBC Radio 4 Appeal – Small Charities Don’t Miss Out
I just wanted to send a gentle reminder that on Monday 4 October submissions close for the BBC’s Radio 4 and Lifeline Charity Appeals. I wanted to make a direct appeal to very small charities that this is a deadline not to be missed.
As an ex-BBC producer, I am constantly surprised how charity fundraising departments don’t take more advantage of these long-standing appeals.
I’m going to focus on the Radio 4 Appeal in particular, as this is the programme that I rarely miss. As you know, I’m passionate about the spoken word and the power it has to deliver clear and simple messages. For those of you who don’t know about it, the Radio 4 Appeal is a short 3 minute broadcast each week where a single speaker, usually a celebrity, highlights the work of a charity and appeals for donations to support its work.
