Small Charity Friendly Collective Conference 2025 


Doing less not caring less | Rising to the challenges of running a small charity in 2025

As founding members of the Small Charity Friendly Collective, we are very happy to have launched our third annual conference. Join us, plus fantastic guest speakers, on 29th April to explore how we can rise to the challenges of running a small charity in 2025. Sessions will consider fundraising and finance, governance, board recruitment, strategic prioritisation, and employment changes. We have guest speakers, a panel, a Q&A, and charity spotlights to bring a range of perspectives and experience on key topics we all need to be thinking about.

Times are tough but you're not alone - don't just take our word for it, register for free and join a load of small charity allies at the end of April as we tackle the challenges head-on and together.

We look forward to seeing you there!

This event is kindly supported by gunnercooke. You can find out more about sessions and register your place here. And finally, a new organisational resilience fund has been opened by the crew at Berkeley Foundation.

Lead your organisation to a more financially sustainable future





"Awesome session
which took the 
fear out of 
financial planning"

Getting on top of and keeping on top of the numbers in a small charity can be challenging. 

Small charity finance is technical, regulated and complicated. It can be, we are sometimes told, boring, and when the numbers don't go the right way, it can be anxiety provoking.

We understand the challenges small charities face when building financial sustainability. We explain finance in a simple, accessible way. We take the stress out of it all.
