You've probably seen the news about a businessman taking a lot of heat for using AI to design a mural for a row of houses in Glasgow. Lots of artists are justifiably furious. We think this raises really important questions for humanists.

This article should be thought provoking to many charities feeling the pinch. For example:
- How do you frame your organisation?
- How do you deliver your story?
- How powerful is your fundraising platform?
Make 2026 about improvement, not about waiting for the climate to change.

For years now, the charity sector has faced a lot of headwinds that only seem to be strengthening. The question is, can we use them to move us forwards instead of blowing us backwards?

A nice piece focusing on the highs and lows of the charity sector, and a point of outreach for people looking for support.
In this blog, Louise Dawtry explores the beautiful yet complicated reality of working in the sector. It captures the purpose and people that keep us committed, while also unpacking the challenges we don’t always talk about enough, from burnout to funding pressures. Read more: https://bit.ly/4qcR4XY

What if we stopped chasing SEO noise in 2026?
I looked at what respected SEO practitioners are actually saying about 2026 — and what that really means for charities.
Less hacks.
More trust.
More human content.

Digital tactics for 2026 ≠ more platforms, more tools, more noise.
It does mean:
– Better platform choices
– Privacy as a trust signal
– Faster, greener websites
– Putting real people front and centre in an AI-heavy world.
All this in our first blog of 2026👉 Read here: www.pooka.co/digital-tact...
