Learning & Development
Running your charity is incredibly rewarding, but it comes with challenges – from securing funding to managing day-to-day operations. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping you and your team access specialist learning and development, whilst benefiting from up-to-date sector insights and practical resources.
Our training is designed to provide you the tools, knowledge and confidence to successfully run and grow your charity, with a variety of essential online and in person training courses.
We offer a wide range of training options to meet your individual needs, including:
Lunchtime Bites
Our free, one-hour online sessions are perfect for busy charity professionals who want to develop new skills without a significant time commitment. Our sessions address current challenges and opportunities within the charity sector, providing practical insights and expert guidance.
The most recent session, “Building Brighter Futures for Young People Lunchtime Bite Webinar”, was delivered on January 25. Designed for fundraisers in charities and CICs supporting children and young people, it covered key topics such as:
- Telling your story in the most impactful way to engage your funders
- Building and maintaining funding relationships to increase income
- Preparing for funding opportunities in 2025 to stay ahead.
We’ll soon be announcing new sessions on essential charity sector topics, including:
- Enhancing the wellbeing of charity leaders to prevent burnout.
- Effective marketing and communications to amplify your impact.
- Preparing for public contracts

Our half-day online training sessions are designed to enhance your skills and provide you with practical, valuable resources to support your charity’s growth.

Upcoming Sessions:
- April – Storytelling for Impact: Learn how to craft compelling narratives that inspire action and engage funders.
- September – Developing Your Fundraising Strategy: Gain practical strategies to build a sustainable and effective fundraising plan.
Looking ahead to next year, we’ll be introducing two additional courses and welcome your input on topics that matter most to you.
