Second free Social Media Surgery for Birmingham voluntary organisations
Just a quick post on returning home from the second free Social Media Surgery that we held for Birmingham’s voluntary organisations at the BVSC in Digbeth. As with the first event, tonight’s event was very popular and we hope everyone went home with some practical ideas and the confidence to try them out. We look forward to online activity from organisations including City Centre Neighbourhood Forum, Perry Barr Multifaith Network, the Get Walking Keep Walking project and Digbeth Trust to name but a few.
I’m sure more details will emerge over the next few days about what was achieved (please link to any further info in the comments), but for now, I’d like to say thanks to the following ‘surgeons’ for giving up their free time to offer advice to some worthy local voluntary organisations:
- Robert Annable
- Pete Ashton
- Nick Booth
- Jon Bounds
- Joanna Geary
- Nicky Getgood
- Stef Lewandowski
- John Mostyn
- Henry Mostyn
- Phil Oakley
- Stuart Parker
- Antonio Roberts
- Chris Unitt
- Ben Whitehouse
- Gavin Wray

Hi Nick, Rob & all
I really enjoyed and appreciated the ‘surgery’ and have been telling all and sundry about it. No promises about when you will see the effects but looking forward to the next event already!

It’d be good to hear what the participants from the voluntary orgs thought and how they’re getting on using some of the social tools and techniques in their own projects since the event.
As a first timer at this November meet, I felt it went really well. I’ve written a post summarising a discussion between the guys from Birmingham City Students’ Union, Ben Whitehouse and myself:
