Our book launch in April was very well attended, with a great buzz (and the crackling sound of popping candy!). But if you weren’t able to make it you can still find out what happened in our short film, created for us by the wonderful Helena Ohman – watch it below.
Since then, readers have been generous with their reviews and feedback:
“The book is an incredibly useful resource which helps you think about what sustainability means for you (not just financial) and your organisation, and how you can have the most impact. It’s laid out in easy to pick up sections, works for everyone involved (board, staff etc) and is clear and concise.”
Pat Armstrong OBE, Chief Executive, Association of Chief Officers of Scottish Voluntary Organisations
“Anybody in the non-profit sector who believes their organisation has a right to exist for its own sake needs to revaluate their purpose and identity. This book expands our understanding of sustainability, putting impact and communities at the centre. It rightly challenges our understanding and emphasises our collective responsibility and the need for collaboration and partnership. Well-worth reading.”
Keith Wimbles, Chief Executive, Impact Funding Partners (who also blogged about it here)
“How you can sustain things when the funding stops? Making a Lasting Difference is a fantastic resource to ask those tough, challenging questions, but it gives a framework to work against as well.”
Don Williamson, Chief Executive Shared Care Scotland
“Graeme’s thinking on sustainability should be required reading for every leader in the third sector.”
Jane Griffin, Head of Partnerships, LGBT Youth Scotland
“Brilliant book. Highly recommended if you enjoy a systems approach to change to achieve healthy thriving sustainable organisations. First class.”
Sasha Taylor, CEO, Bike Station
“An excellent book. A must have for anyone trying to navigate change. Practical. Based on real experience. Inspiring.”
Frances Simpson, CEO, Support in Mind Scotland
“Fantastic book for anyone thinking about how to support sustainable health and social care.”
Des McCart, Senior Programme Manager, Healthcare Improvement Scotland
“Excellent publication – would highly recommend to all seeking a no nonsense usable way to plan, design and deliver services.”
Trisha Hall, former National Director, Scottish Association of Social Work
