• Fundraising through the pandemic- Anti Money Laundering- Safeguarding- Corporate Governance & Accountability

A one-day conference

Live Virtual Event 

Date: 30th June 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted severely on charities and their ability to fundraise and continue with their work in the past year. This calls for charities to be more strategic in their marketing, large fundraisers are not permitted which opens the door to more online and social media-oriented events. Compliance, corporate governance and transparency are essential parts of running a successful charity and this conference will look at those vital functions as well as social media marketing, safeguarding policies and much more.

This is a unique virtual event from our own custom-built CMG Studios. Initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with attendees praising the additional interactive elements, as well as increased Q&A opportunities throughout the day, giving you more opportunity to gain real practical insights on the key issues that are important to you.
