Peter Bass

Pete works as a freelance researcher in the voluntary sector for clients including NCVO, Community Development Foundation, ACEVO, Compact Voice, Third Sector Research Centre and anyone else with a good acronym. Writing something a bit more appropriate to go on this website is on his to-do list.

He lives in West London Kent South London with the world's best editorial consultant and her piano.

He loves open source software, particularly Drupal because it allows him to indulge two of his great loves: messing about on the internet and taking things apart to see how they work.

He was educated at Oxford University. He read Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Keble College. Eventually after five years, they gave him a degree, on the condition that he sat finals, went away, and stopped asking difficult questions in tutorials.

His favourite biscuit is the custard cream, and he takes his tea with milk and no sugar.
