What is ‘gamification’?
One of the services Evolve3 CIC offers is offline gamification.
It’s a term only some people are familiar with, and even if they know what it is, it tends to be digital gamification that comes to mind.
The dictionary defines ‘gamification’ as: the application of typical elements of game playing (e.g. point scoring, competition with others, rules of play) to other areas of activity, typically as an online marketing technique to encourage engagement with a product or service.
Where small charities should be focusing their attention
If you're a small charity, your time could be better spent making connections in the private sector than the public sector.
Businesses partnering with charities...that's where the real power lies. A match that can affect real change, without any politics getting in the way.

Why community fundraising should be a higher priority for charities
£640,000 was lost by charities who were unsuccessful/declined in Henry Smith's latest funding round. More than 49,000 hours were wasted, and that related to just one funder.

The cost of fundraising...
Return on investment is an important thing for any organisation, but particularly so for a charity.
Most people probably don’t think about the cost of fundraising (a heads up: it’s not just a case of having a volunteer rattling a bucket in a town centre ‘for free’).
What do you consider to be 'immersive'?
The people behind Evolve3 CIC went to a jury duty style 'live immersive event' at the weekend. It was fantastic in its staging, the people acting out the case were great, and it was an interesting way to spend a few hours.
Willy Wonka Glasgow Event – The limitations of AI in marketing
If you’ve been anywhere near the internet over the last week, you may have heard about the Willy Wonka immersive event that took place in Glasgow. It’s been hailed as the first ‘AI-generated event’ – for all the wrong reasons.
Will poor mental health become the next global pandemic?
In today's fast-paced and digitally connected world, loneliness and social isolation have emerged as significant concerns affecting individuals of all ages. Studies have consistently shown that these experiences can have a profound impact on mental health and overall well-being.
