What a week. Society Diary isn't sure if this comment has been made yet, but it does seem that we are in "unprecedented times".  

This largely means many people are working from home and adapting to a new environment (turns out it is not like the stock images - see above- promised). 

Here are some of Diary's favourite examples of charity workers embracing the #WorkFromHomeLifestyle: 

NSPCC's chief executive, Peter Wanless, has become a fashion icon:

Some people are learning more about their colleagues' home lives. Not always a good thing:

We've had our first 'colleague's husband wandering past in the background of a work zoom call in his pants' moment. #accidentalvideocallundies

Staff at the Charity Finance Group seem to be making the most of video conferencing: 

This was the @CFGtweets team earlier today having our all staff catch up via Workplace. The theme - sunglasses and hats. Not everyone was impressed with the optional office 'fun'🕶️🎩 #workingfromhome pic.twitter.com/N6olOjwgsQ

And lots of sector pets have been 'helping' keep charities running smoothly: 

I am trying to work. Final edits for my next book. Arthur is not happy about the barrier to my lap. So he’s simply sitting on me anyway. 🙄😂❤️ pic.twitter.com/F9BlvPazuQ
