Hi Charles
Yes, my reading of the FDC's comments is that they feel we could improve
the way in which we communicate and work with volunteers and I think we
would all agree with that. However, I don't think the successful outcome is
anything to do with the weak pound but rather a strong proposal based on a
good strategic plan, excellent partnership working and increased reach and
impact over the past year.
All best
Lucy

Interesting reading, especially about the handling of volunteers. As
someone who deals with WMUK and its WiR folk in various ways, I wouldn't
describe its responsiveness as exactly slick; and it seems the FDC is
voicing something of what I feel, in different language. There may have
been a one-off advantage gained from the weak pound, so let's hope this
year's successful bid can be leveraged into some further progress.
