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 26 September at 11am. Caroline Danks will walk us through some of the latest results from LarkOwl’s comprehensive and far-reaching benchmarking research – gathering insight, informing decisions for your fundraising, and inspiring you to keep crunching those numbers to ensure your fundraising performs to its full potential.

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!
