September 24, 2009 by Neville Hobson 

A new website went live about an hour ago, one that showcases the talents and thinking of a group of committed people who are going to do some amazing communication things in the third sector otherwise known as the voluntary sector. It’s about Bright One Communications, a volunteer-run communications agency for the third sector founded a year ago by London-based practitioner Ben Matthews.
