Each year we produce the famed purple THINK notebooks, which we give to fundraisers at events and conferences. And each year the notebook features an inspiring quote. We’re looking for a quote for our brand new notebook and we’d love to feature one of your favourites.

Replying to @ThinkCS @LisaRussel
Finally, @Hannahkhyde85 chose Uncharitable by Dan Pallotta: bit.ly/3m310Hi Hannah said, " It totally transformed the way I see fundraising and how the charity sector is hampered by the idea that investment into infrastructure...is not how donations should be spent."

Nicky's family have asked us to thank you all for your kind messages of condolence and support, and for your generous donations in her memory - we're so pleased to say £1,045 has been raised for two of her favourite causes: @CR_UK and @Battersea_ 💜
THINK will be closed for business tomorrow (Friday 25th) - our team will be taking some time out to attend Nicky Elischer's funeral, our friend and colleague. Nicky's family is inviting people to make a donation to one of her favourite causes: bit.ly/3DtLmtG
