CHOOSE YOUR SESSION:
ROOM ONE – What to do when everything is a priority – Vic Hancock Fell – Small Charity Specialist and Trainer
As a fundraiser or charity leader, you’ll likely be familiar with the demands of needing to be all things to all people – all of the time! But how do we manage that impossible prioritisation when everyone is shouting at once?! Vic will explore the tools and techniques that will help you be ‘enough’ (and more!) whilst also ensuring you protect yourself – after all there’s only one of you – and you are really valuable!
OR
ROOM TWO – Burn the Forms. Fund the Work – Luke Wilkinson, Founder, Raiser
Grant applications are a historical glitch: inefficient, inequitable, and overdue for disruption. What if we stopped trying to game the system by sprinkling AI fairy dust on broken processes—and built something better instead? This session explores a different future for charities, where impact speaks louder than paperwork and technology helps build relationships, trust, and transparency—not just transactions.
