What did you most enjoy about the 2024 conference?

"A chance to hear from some experts in the field of fundraising. Working for a local charity for almost 10 years it was great to hear insight from those that work in a national charity.  LOVED hearing Fiona talk on the first morning, found her so engaging and inspiring. The tea, coffee, cakes + fruit were great. Enjoyed the DF milk options too. Not that i am DF but prefer oat milk in coffee."   

“Excellent range of events and discussions.”  

“Great programme sessions and as always fantastic welcome and openness to network and build relationships.”  


"Having so many different sectors or focus to attend sessions on. Amazing networking opportunity. Catering was phenomenal."  

“I really appreciated the Small Charities track on the first day - in previous years we have often found the sessions beyond what we can do and sometimes struggle to pick relevant topics, so this new track was excellent and really beneficial. The session on Networking for Introverts was EXCELLENT!”

"The ability to choose which session you attended on the day."


"The information I came away with and ideas from the sessions and meeting people from other charities in similar positions as me, fantastic."  

“The range of talks and networking opportunities. I thought the session for newcomers at the start was great, it was nice that we weren't just talked at and were given the space to chat to each other and make connections.”

"Excellently organised from the easy booking, the quality of sessions to attend, the fab venue and lots of volunteers helping to keep us all right. It was very well done."
