Build a more resilient and sustainable organisation.

Get clear, practical answers on finance, governance, and proving your worth - the tools you need to stop just surviving and make sure your charity stays strong for years to come.

Refill your tank and inspire your team to do the same.

Leading is exhausting. Step away from the daily demands to rekindle your sense of purpose. Hear inspiring stories and case studies that will fill you with fresh energy, giving you the ideas and motivation to go back and spark genuine enthusiasm in your team.

Find your people. **(The ones who really get it)**

Connect with hundreds of peers who share in the joys and challenges of charity work. This is the place to build a powerful support system, find new collaborators, and share candid conversations about the journey you're all on.

Take home solutions for every struggle.

The conference is not just a fundraising workshop. Whether you need help with the latest digital tools, leading through a time of crisis or managing a board, you will find meaningful, strategic insights for every part of your job.

A connected and inclusive sector: Empowering charities of all sizes

Explore how the sector can ensure that smaller and medium-sized charities have an equal voice, access to resources, and opportunities for collaboration. Discussions include shared infrastructure, peer networks, and partnership models that encourage inclusion.

Sector resilience, innovation, and leadership adaptability

With cost-of-living pressures, funding volatility, and organisational closures, leaders must adapt rapidly. Explore leadership models, decision-making under uncertainty, and innovative responses to the chaos.

Hands-on learning and operational support

Gain practical guidance, skill-building, compliance, and sustainability. Attendance aims to empower charity leaders and staff with knowledge in Fundraising, Finance, HR, Governance, and Partnerships.

Storytelling, digital engagement, and communication innovation

Charities increasingly need to inspire audiences, donors, and policymakers. Celebrate creativity, communication, and technology - including how AI and social media can amplify impact and drive your purpose forward.

"The ambition for Third Sector: The Conference is to go beyond addressing the many challenges that charities face today - creating a space where leaders can collaborate and share the essential knowledge that will help to build a stronger, more resilient charity sector. We look forward to welcoming you in 2026."
