Join us for our September Breakfast Club for Directors, Heads and Senior Fundraisers
When: Tuesday 8th September
Time: 8:45am – 9:55am.

In this free, virtual session I will share ideas for Tenacious Fundraising – leading your team to pursue what matters and see it through. And the brilliant Asiya Parekh will share ways to Transform Your Corporate Partnerships Income.
Sound familiar?
As a fundraising leader, you’ve got targets to reach, people to manage, donors to keep happy and cross-team projects to contribute to.
Change in the sector is happening faster than ever, and you want to be up to date with the most effective strategies other charities are using.
And you sometimes feel isolated, without much support at your level in your charity.
You’re fed up with handling everything on your own.
Solidarity
You’re not alone.
There’s a community of people in the same boat as you – they have similar challenges and stresses and they’re navigating the same tough landscape.

“The Breakfast Club is a brilliant idea – it was incredibly useful to meet other Heads and Directors of Fundraising, to share ideas and to grow my professional network.”
