Hey all!

Happy Friday! We hope you’ve had a brilliant first full week of February🌱Sending out a few updates and important upcoming news to kick-start your Weekend 👊

Türkiye & Syria Earthquake Response Fund - the Open Collective Team has launched an important Fund to support the relief effort in Türkiye and Syria following the recent earthquake. Their goal is to provide support organisations on the ground that are helping people affected.

They are waiving the fees for this campaign to ensure as much as the funds raised as possible go directly to the organisations who need it most. You can donate or find out more by following this link: https://opencollective.com/turkey-and-syria-response-fund

🕵SCN Resource Hub Coming Soon! - Well we said we had big things coming for this year - and we are so excited to finally share with you our first big project: the SCN Resource Hub! Our team, in collaboration with our colleagues at the Social Change Agency, have been working on resources to help strengthen, grow, and manage your brilliant group! We will be launching this in early March - so keep your eyes peeled 👀

The resource hub will be full of information on fundraising, policies, utilising SCN and more! We will also be using three of the excellent frameworks from the Social Change Agency - our Network and Movement Building Canvases, as well as our Unlocking Networks Canvas! These are designed to help your group be the best it can be, by utilising resources you may not even know you have. 

📜Incoming Funds and Missing Contributions - A reminder that we have set up an incoming contribution form where you can let us know if you will be receiving a large incoming contribution so we can allocate it to your page!

As well as that, you can also share this form with your contributors. Sometimes contributions are made with the incorrect reference number which means we are unable to allocate them to your page. If any of your contributors can’t see their contribution, send them this form so we can allocate it to you!

👩‍👩‍👧‍👦Join our Discord - if you haven’t already, now is a great time to join our Discord! This week, we’re talking about fundraising tips, tricks, and ideas. Click here to get involved!

We hope you all have a fantastic rest of the week! As always, if you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

Warm wishes, 

The SCN Team
