February Friday Re:Connect
Our regular Friday Re:Connect events offer a chance to pause, recharge, and learn as you head towards the end of a busy week. They are hosted on Zoom and they are always free to attend. They aren’t recorded, so that everyone feels relaxed and able to share openly. We cover a broad range of topics, issues and opportunities linked to everyday fundraising.
Our next Re:Connect is on Friday 13 February at 11am. Join Mark Preston to explore the power of placing storytelling at the heart of our fundraising...
There are now over 165,000 charities in the UK. 5,000 new charities were registered last year. And funding seems more constrained than ever. So in a world of intense competition for funding, and a society that is drowning in data and reports, it is time to take a closer look at the stories we tell. This session will help you to understand the importance of storytelling in your messaging and help you to stand out and to capture the hearts and minds of an audience that is often overwhelmed.

Online Workshop
Fundraising Essentials is a two-part online and live training course that has been designed to give you and your fundraising the very best start.
Part One is a half day course that journeys through the fundamental framework for fundraising success - from developing a compelling Case for Support and identifying the right sources of funding, through to delivering on your plans and providing top-class stewardship.
They’ll be a mix of teaching, tasks, discussions and group work. You’ll leave with key tasks and takeaways to make the best use of all you’ve learnt.
Part Two provides an optional drop in space for review, discussion, sharing learning and practice, whilst looking at further questions that have arisen whilst you’ve put your learning into action.
This course is designed for those who have been in their role for a few months and would really value some training that covers all the basics to help them ensure success for the future. It would be equally valuable to anyone new to fundraising or looking for a change and wanting to start a career in the charity sector. If you’re a charity trustee or fundraising forms part of your role within your charity them this course will be a huge help to you too!
