The final DigiShift of 2020 is a celebration of the hard work charities have put in to making digital service delivery a reality during the most trying of circumstances.

We will showcase some of our favourite examples of third sector digital innovation and look towards 2021. Where do we go next?

We are joined by Anna Fowlie, Chief Executive of SCVO, to share her reflections on what coronavirus has meant for the third sector plus how we face the challenges and opportunities 2021 brings.

Christmas jumpers are optional but we would love it if you made this one a little festive - a Lapland zoom background would do.

As always these community calls are the chance for you to hear from others across the third sector in Scotland and share your own experiences.

This year because of the lack of informal networking opportunities available over the last 8 months or so we will use the meeting to network amongst ourselves and to share experiences of engaging with the Scottish Government and Parliament and other political actors while many of us are working from home.

The session will begin with a speed networking session followed by an open discussion of working in policy and public affairs during Covid19, and what's achieving impact. There will also be an opportunity to ask a question on something you'd like to discuss with the group.
