Navigating organisational uncertainties and financial realities with collective wisdom and practical tools.

Leading a small charity through uncertainty can feel both deeply personal and relentlessly demanding. This reflective and participatory session offers leaders of micro and small charities a space to pause, reconnect and strengthen their confidence in navigating change together.

Grounded in the idea of collective wisdom, we’ll explore how emotional resilience, financial resilience and organisational resilience are deeply interconnected. Through conversation, shared learning and practical exercises, we’ll move from reacting to challenges towards anticipating and preparing for them with greater clarity, steadiness and calm.

Together, we’ll explore how numbers can become a source of insight rather than fear, how leadership can create stability during uncertain times, and how small, thoughtful actions can help organisations adapt and grow. Alongside practical strategies and tools, the session will create space for honest reflection, mutual support and the exchange of ideas across the sector.

Held in the unique setting of St Ethelburga’s Bedouin Peace Tent, expect a warm and nourishing environment. No shoes, no long presentations, just some flip charts, post-its and plenty of space for meaningful conversation and connection. A device for accessing course material via Wi-Fi is required.

Where Mission and Money Flourish Together

How do you build financial resilience while staying true to your mission?

Every flourishing organisation needs strong foundations. Like an oak, you need dependable income that keeps you rooted, stable and able to weather changing conditions. But thriving ecosystems don't rely on one source of nourishment. They also produce berries — diverse, seasonal and abundant — creating new possibilities for growth and renewal.

Purpose-led organisations are no different.

Join strategy specialist Yasmin and financial resilience specialist Liz for a practical and reflective workshop exploring how to build a healthier balance between mission and money.

Using the Money–Mission Matrix, you'll take a fresh look at your organisation's income model: what provides the dependable foundations for your core mission, where greater diversity could strengthen resilience, and which opportunities are worth pursuing.

1. Uunderstand the strengths and vulnerabilities in your current business model  
2. Distinguish between the income that anchors your core mission and income that creates room to adapt and innovate
3. Make more intentional choices about income diversification
4. Balance financial sustainability with purpose and impact
5. Build a business model that can adapt as circumstances change

You'll leave with practical tools, fresh insights and greater confidence to make strategic choices about your organisation's future — creating the conditions for mission and money to flourish together.

Honouring Endings, Making Space for Renewal

Every flourishing ecosystem depends not only on growth, but on letting go. Leaves fall. Branches break. Trees return their nutrients to the forest floor, creating the rich soil from which new life emerges.

Purpose-led organisations are no different.

Projects come to an end. Funding changes. Services evolve. Sometimes the most courageous act of leadership is recognising what has served its purpose and creating space for what comes next.

Join us for a reflective and compassionate workshop exploring organisational endings through a regenerative lens.

Together we'll consider how to navigate change with care, make thoughtful decisions about what to stop, and honour the people, relationships and learning that have shaped your organisation's journey.

Through practical tools, shared conversation and guided reflection, we'll explore how endings can become opportunities for renewal. 

You'll leave with greater confidence to approach difficult decisions with clarity, compassion and purpose, recognising that letting go is not the opposite of  flourishing, but an essential part of it.
