Charity Wellbeing Specialist
Claire Warner
Claire Warner has worked in and around the charity sector since 1997. Her ‘passion project’ is charity sector wellbeing. It’s something she fervently believes in and has spent the last 8 years advocating for.
Between 2017 and 2024, Claire ran a consultancy helping charities recognise and embrace the benefits of prioritising colleague wellbeing. She now continues this focus alongside an in-house SLT role.
In 2018, Claire launched Charity Well, the first sector-wide piece of wellbeing research. She has conducted two studies (2019 and 2025), both of which were carried in Fundraising Magazine and other titles. The results of the research were used to further inform and refine the work Claire does with organisations and individuals across the charity sector.
In 2020, Claire won the Best Digital Leader Award at the Social CEO Awards and in 2021, curated the first Charity Wellbeing Summit and was named as one of 20 Pandemic Pioneers by Charity Times.
When not focussing on Charity Fundraising, MarComms and Wellbeing, Claire can be found on the side of the Pennines with her family and their animals, enjoying countryside life.

My Previous Events
Disruptor Wellbeing: are you ready?
This session will look at what being at that best entails: how to know when we’ve taken on or are nearing taking on too much; what the basics of self care are and how they are in fact essential to our best, not a distraction from it; and will ask delegates to consider what are the ingredients of YOUR balanced disrupter wellbeing-filled life, and how can you prioritise and achieve them.
What Fundraisers Are Saying About Their Mental Health
Using research conducted in the sector, Claire looks at the most common causes of stress in the sector and how to reduce these and boost your resilience.
