Said it before and here it is again: Dear venues, if it's harder to book accessible tickets than standard tix, this is the opposite of access. Today's is @Alberthallmcr #arts #access #edi
Rare bus man's hol to a museum I'd no connection to or much prior knowledge of. Absolute model of how to museum. Every detail and the sum of all the parts inform, emote, inspire curiosity, creativity and potential. Highly recommended.

A few things assembled today reminding me to remind you: if you're getting an access audit done, include noise consideration for neurodivergent folks. Think echoes, hand dryers, sound proofed zones, soft furnishings, non reflective glass, quiet space (not same as relaxed space).
Giving a 30min evaluation masterclass to 80+ arts organisations was somewhat nerve wracking!! But we had some lovely feedback thankfully. And I think I hid my starstruckness of having @New_Adventures in the room. #fangirling thanks for the invite @GoodCRM #evaluation
Thanks so much to Sally Fort @sallyent for an amazing Monitoring & Evaluation webinar for @GoodCRM clients! Learn more about her at sallyfort.com #CRM #NPOlove #monitoring #evaluation

FREELANCE DISABLED ARTY PEOPLE! (Esp those with fatigue related conditions)
I am trying to write myself an access rider for freelance work and wondered if anyone with energy limiting conditions has any advice/experience? what kind of stuff have you asked for and been granted?
Seems like a good day for this tip: you can import pdf data into spreadsheets. Go to 'get data' and choose 'from file' then click on what you need. My mind was blown when I first discovered this!
I would also appreciate a parallel spreadsheet of unsuccessful applicants tho I see that might be problematic. But as sector we could learn a lot. #npo #transparency
I wonder if (hope) @ace_national will be making statistical raw data from applications available in due course? I would love to see / analyse the diversity of leadership in successful #npo applications #transparency #bigdata #diversity
I will always be the sort of person who goes straight to 'download the data' (and then save it for all of time) #NPO
And for those who haven't got what they wanted, sending you warm love and wishing you a restful weekend before moving to your pivot and Plan B stances (and the knowledge you will have a LOT less admin and reporting than others)
Amazing news, every one of my clients was successful in their #NPO applications. (Let the evaluation frameworks begin!!) I'm a bag of nerves and I didn't even apply.
*watches @ace_national website* ... *refreshes browser* ... so many of my clients are waiting for (hopefully good) news today. Seems this year more than ever a LOT hangs in the balance. Collective putting on of kettle at 10.50 right?
Every now and then I review my website - pls help and let me know what works and what could be improved? I know there are definitely improvements to be made. Thanks! sallyfort.com/

Not on here that often but this post has been popular on Linked In so am sharing here too - linkedin.com/pulse/can-socia… Super interesting project with @McrSchArt and many others. Guaranteed learning about inclusion / diversity for artists + arts orgs
Hi @burnleybuses I emailed, DMd, phoned 3 times. No response. Why are drivers of no.6 going straight up/down Walton Lane and missing Hollins Rd? Son left stranded after school twice this week. So far...
This. If you receive public funding, don't forget who you are doing the work for. Always. Be it heritage, arts, science or anything else. It's not your own personal vanity pot.
#publicfunding
Disappointed by visit to historic site yesterday that had a significant @HeritageFundUK grant -although the site looked nice there was NO interpretation- at end of the visit we still knew nothing about who, why or what. No point fixing heritage w/out helping people understand it
Blimey. I've been tweeting for 13 years!! Perhaps the scariest possible measure of the hours I've lost online. #MyTwitterAnniversary
