Andy King

Andy King is an award-winning storyteller. In July 2022, Fundraising Magazine named him ‘the most influential fundraiser in the UK’. Andy’s passion is helping charities tell their most important stories to those with the power to change the ending. This has led him to kickstart corporate partnerships programmes from a standing start to a value of £450,000 per year in 18 months. He has also transformed existing approaches to go beyond ‘logo-led’ fundraising with St. John’s Ambulance, UNESCO and Cancer Research UK. Having worked with charities of all shapes and sizes, he is keen to create the tools that will work for you.

Corporate Partnerships Everywhere 2023

Corporate Partnerships Everywhere Conference 2022

“A bend in the road is not the end of the road…
unless you fail to make the turn.” – Helen Keller

We find ourselves in a time of overwhelming challenges. The pandemic, climate change and discrimination are at the top of a long list of significant problems.

These problems are too big for any organization to solve on their own. However, purpose-driven partnerships between companies and charities offer us hope and solutions.

So we need corporate fundraisers to step up and build those partnerships.

We are excited to present our line-up of international and expert speakers who will provide you with cutting edge insight and recommendations on how to build corporate-charity partnerships that make a serious dent in your charity missions.

We hope you can join us on Thursday 24^th February 2022.

Engaging Students

In this session Andy draws on his own experience as a student fundraiser, sharing top tips on engaging students and making the most of student fundraising within your own organisation.
