Content sessions designed to inspire and encourage you to make the next step in your organisation's growth

VIEW THE AGENDA

"Returning as a live event in 2021, Third Sector is proud to welcome you to the Third Sector Fundraising Forum.

As the UK heads slowly towards some sense of normality, the aftershocks of the Covid-19 pandemic will be felt for years to come. The work of charities will a crucial part of recovery – never more needed.

But the Covid-19 crisis also caused the biggest disruption to the voluntary and not-for-profit sector in living memory. As well as supporting the people they work with, charities must shape their own strategies for rebuilding.

Third Sector’s Fundraising Forum provides a space for fundraisers and charitable organisations alike to network, share insights, and access support that will help them evolve their current practices to thrive in the future.

The Forum will take place across two days on the 20 & 21 October

I look forward to seeing you there!"
