Talk Details
This is your opportunity to get access to the UK’s only Community Fundraising Conference that took place on Thursday June 19th 2025.
If you’re a community fundraiser struggling with:
- knowing where to spend your time without letting people down
- managing difficult conversations with supporters
- volunteer management and navigating the new digital world of volunteering
- gently letting George know that whilst we appreciate the wooden horse he carved, it’s unlikely we’ll sell it for £500k
This event is here to lift you with the skills, tactics, and confidence to achieve your goals – and feel awesome doing it.
You’ll learn
- the tried and tested formula to prioritising community fundraising relationships
- how to set strategies and measure impact across the fundraising mix
- where to find community supporters who will further your impact – and how to empower them to do it alone
- more about the product lifecycle and when to cut or boost your key performers
Plus, there will be lots of uplifting stories from and networking opportunities with community fundraisers across the UK.
Join our Community Fundraising Conference and join forces with other community fundraisers to show the impact, benefit, and resilience of what community fundraising really is – the beating heart of charities.
