Subject: Heard of Barbie the destroyer?

Half a dozen of us had a really useful day together last month at the first ever ECF London work day. Join the next one in London (17 June)... or in Manchester, Amsterdam, Vienna...

Regards,

What we're up to

Brie has been busy helping Oxfam prepare for the launch of their great new GROW campaign on the global food system, launched last week. Jess has been grappling with the ECF list wisdom and turning her thoughts to preparing for ECF Europe in November.

Meanwhile I've been working with Greenpeace UK and ActionAid UK, helping them to improve how they use Engaging Networks' e-activist tool and carrying out analysis and consultancy for Macmillan Cancer Support and WWF International.

Campaigner awards

Do you know of a great campaigner who deserves help and recognition? In the UK, the Sheila McKechnie Awards recognise and support people who are making a real difference in their communities, with a tailored package of support and mentoring to winners in nine categories, including consumer action, environment, local activism, and awards for older and younger campaigners.  Closing date 20 June.
