At the London Meetup last night, the idea of having a CiviCRM co-working day was discussed, so we are certainly planning to do that in London on CiviDay 2014 (Wednesday, January 29th), and wouldn't it be great if the same pattern could be followed around the world. The idea would be that the CiviDay Meetup in the evening would be at the same venue as the Co-Working day, ie that we book a venue for the whole day and into the evening, and that the venue has good wi-fi available and access

Life Cycle UK is a small, innovative, UK charity which aims to transform lives and the environment through cycling. We run a range of practical services and projects designed to help people to overcome the barriers stopping them from cycling – anything from confidence boosting cycle training for adults who haven’t ridden a bike for 20 years and want to ditch the car and cycle to work – to a range of "inclusive cycling" projects which target specific disadvantaged groups.
The Trinity Forum (TTF) is a nonprofit organization that engages leaders with the great ideas of civilization in the context of faith for personal and societal renewal.
Theatre groups, political organisations, environmental charities... CiviCRM is used by organisations of all shapes and sizes and the faith-based sector is a growing part of that. Here's a snapshot of our own Civi journey at Woodlands Church in Bristol, UK.
