We said it and we’re sticking to it.

Low and behold… over the weekend, Meta’s message popped up:
The line between user and product has never been clearer.
Would you pay for privacy or stay free and feed the algorithm? 🐇💭

The two UK Gift Aid extensions take the stress out of claims — one handles declarations, the other connects directly to HMRC.
Use both and watch Gift Aid go from mystery to routine.

Running a digital agency means living online, but staying well offline matters just as much.
Marcus leans on yoga, Paul on music and movement, and Sian on long walks and sunshine.
Digital creativity only works when humans do too. 💛

“AI search results: useful shortcut or risky rabbit hole?” 🐇
We dug into the research, turns out most people don’t trust AI summaries, but still use them anyway. For charities, that’s a challenge worth paying attention to.

Friday question for comms brains: If you had 5 mins with your board, what’s the one thing you’d want them to understand about your website? 🐇 No pressure to reply — but if you do, know you’re not alone.
September 26, 2025 at 9:02 AM
Every online action happens through a site or app. If they’re inaccessible, digital inclusion fails. @SCVO.scot’s roadmap says it’s time for all of us to take responsibility 🐇

Ever tried to update a charity website and thought, “Why is this harder than making tea in the dark?” ☕🐇
