Upcoming Events

Our events focus around strategic shared learning for senior managers to gain knowledge and understanding from peers with the key aim of drawing out best practices. At each event guest speakers from charities are invited to give case study style presentations, sharing practical insights into current issues facing the sector. This is followed by facilitated group discussion. Our events are only open to charities, membership organisations and other non-profit organisations.

We have an enviable track-record for hosting events that address the demands and challenges affecting organisations through change. Almost 100% of attendees rate them as either excellent or good.

Finance systems and cake

Wednesday 23rd June 2027 at 14:00 GMT

Royal College of Nursing, 20 Cavendish Square, London, W1G 0RN

£0.00    60

Most finance teams already sense that their system could be doing more. The harder questions are what ‘more’ should look like, whether the answer lies in improving what you have or replacing it, and how to bring budget holders, senior managers and trustees with you. This afternoon brings peers from across the sector together to work through those questions candidly, with a focus on the practical choices that help finance move from keeping the records to acting as a genuine strategic partner.
