Congratulations to Nick Blundell, Most people will know Nick he is a founding member of the team and he is a highly thought of and skilled open source developer and a great educator. 

Nick has earned an opportunity to become a Lecturer at Birmingham University where he will be working with Master's students as they prepare for the finals.  

I am very pleased to say that Nick will continue to be part of the Illuminate team as a consultant and helping us to continue with our work in the sector.

It looks like ot could be a tough year for many, many people this year and effective use of information technology to support the work of voluntary and community organisations is likely to move to the forefront. We plan to be here to help you meet this need.

Good luck for the new year to every one!
