2025 Webinars
We know that if you work for a small organisation you have to wear many hats and you can't be an expert in them all. That's why we have been working on organising capacity building workshops with year including 'How To Create Effective Video Content Using Your Phone' which will be hosted by by Emma Bracegirdle and Jo Hamer from The Saltways as well as a 4 part-series of online webinars around Fundraising which will be hosted by Founder and CEO of Latch Fundraising, Lynda Harwood Compton throughout the year.

Stewardship - Thursday 25th September 10am-11am
This session of our quarterly webinars is all about looking after your donors. How do we create impact and stewardship journeys which make our donors feel valued and part of our organisation. Using what we’ve learned from the Storytelling and Make an Ask workshops, we will also focus on new and innovative techniques for stewardship as well as examples from other non-profits.
Thank You - Wednesday 3rd December 10am-11am
Did you know a donor should be thanked 4 x per year? Thanking is a crucial part of a donor’s stewardship journey. There is no stronger word than ‘thank you’ in fundraising. Let’s look at creative ways to thank, why thanking is important and how some of the most successful people have got where they have because of these two words…’thank you’
