Hi Abigail

 

 

No matter what size your team is, managing with care during the pandemic is important. We have a wide range of management and leadership courses so you can tailor your management style to suit your organisation. Take a look at a couple of our upcoming courses here:

 

Managing Volunteers – Tuesday 8 & Wednesday 9 June

Charities are dependent on their volunteers. But how do you ensure you recruit the right ones, with the right skills, and then nurture them so they feel rewarded and stay? This complete course takes you every step through volunteer management, covering every aspect of the vital skills needed. Sign up for Managing Volunteers here.

 

Leading & Managing Change – Wednesday 9 June

We expect that change can cause low morale, fears, confusion. That is however, a possibility, not a given. Your role as leader is to reduce that possibility and ensure that effective management and leadership of change initiatives drive their success. So, what are the pitfalls? Where do you start? Who do you involve? How do you keep going when you want to throw the towel in? All that covered, framed in a learning environment that allows for lots of peer to peer support and shared good practice. Sign up for Leading & Managing Change here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Must-read books for you and your team

 

 

‘The Guide to UK Company Giving is one of our most valued tools in prospecting for corporate support. Using this resource saves us so much time, as we know that we can trust the information within it to be accurate, up to date and comprehensive.’

Lucy Beattie-Cooper, Fundraising Manager, British Blind Sport

 

 

What it's about: How can you maximise your chances of winning corporate support in the UK? You need to know which companies give, why they give, what their criteria are and how to ask in the right way. Offering insight into over 400 companies that collectively contribute around £483 million in the UK in cash donations and in-kind support, The Guide to UK Company Giving 2021/22 helps you to do just that.

 

Who it's for: Both voluntary organisations seeking support from corporates and companies looking to develop their community giving strategy should own this indispensable guide. Research organisations and individuals investigating UK corporate giving and CSR will also need this key resource.

 

Get your copy of The Guide to UK Company Giving 2021/22 here.
